GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) —A Greensboro mother is upset at a North Carolina congresswoman who responded to a letter from her 10-year-old son.

Christian Mango says he received a letter from Congresswoman Virginia Foxx.
“I could understand half of it. But not all of it,” Christian said.
His mother, Emily Mango, says the reply from Foxx was regarding an assignment from Christian’s teacher at Canterbury School in Greensboro.
“Christian and his class, they wrote a persuasive essay of their choosing. They mailed it off to a representative, a CEO, whoever the decision maker was to be influential in their persuasive essay points,” Emily said.
Christian says the topic he chose involved electric vehicles.
“We should have a $5,000 tax rebate. For electric cars, because they’re better than normal cars. They’re better for the environment. They pay less. And there’s no gas,” Christian said.
Christian says in April, he mailed the essay to Foxx in a Canterbury School envelope with 4th grade on the return address.
A few weeks later, the school received this letter from Representative Foxx via email.
While the congresswoman thanked the 10-year-old for contacting her, she disagreed with his proposal.
Foxx cited 6 articles, from news organizations such as Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

But towards the end of her response, she attacked Christian’s teacher.
“Ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you. I will never be able to know. My guess is that your teacher will not be able to give you a good educational experience by helping you. Because they are too interested in indoctrinating you. How sad,” Foxx said.
After Christian’s mother explained to him what Foxx’s response meant, the 10-year-old says he’s upset Foxx went after his teacher when Christian was the one who chose the topic of his essay.
“I think that was wrong….because the school didn’t do anything,” Christian said.
Emily Mango slammed Foxx’s response on social media and is now demanding an apology to her son.
“When Representative Foxx attacked him and attacked his teachers and said that his teachers are indoctrinating him with propaganda. How do you even explain that to a 10-year-old in 4th grade? We told our son that is not an okay response. Nobody should talk to a child like that and nobody should talk to a teacher like that. She crossed the line,” Emily said.
We reached out to Rep. Foxx’s office about whether she wrote this response or if someone else on her team did.
We also asked if she planned to apologize to Christian and his teacher for her remarks and we’re waiting for a response.
