Hadnt seen the letter before this... but Mr. Horowitz has long been trying to not have children tested for TB. He fought with Malamalama Waldorf school for quite awhile, threatening lawsuits etc for their requiring TB testing per the SOH requirements for entry to school.

A google search using Leonard Horowitz Move to Hawaii turns up this little gem from the Hawaii county police board minutes:

What is the TB case at Hilo High? Did a student actually come down with it? Sorry, guess I'm outta the loop.

In a nutshell, there is a policy that all students have to have a skin test for TB exposure to attend school. (If it tests positive they need additional testing.) BTW all medical personnel have the same policy.
The skin test consists of an intradermal injection of inert TB protein. If you have antibodies to TB, you react with a little red bump. Your little cellular antibodies go there to take care of it. No exposure, no reaction.
This fellow believes that this is ACTUALLY an immunization, and further believes it is part of a government plot to debilitate the population by injecting them with strange diseases.
So he refused to let his daughter have the test. No test, no school. She was expelled.
As Background, those in the know, realize that TB is back with a vengence. It has broken out in very unlikely places, including a small town in North Dakota with many people infected.
It has become somewhat resistent to our usual drugs and highly drug resistent forms have been found.
It is particularly hazardous to the immunocompromised which are all of the HIV people, all of the transplant people, and all of the Cancer chemotherapy people.
That is why it is a big deal.

Government plot! George Bush must be responsible! Where is the outrage?

This has nothing to do with Malahini.
