Dear Mr. Lee,

I am writing this letter to voice my complaint against Jimmy Kimmel's "Kid's
round table" show that was aired on Oct 16. During the show a 6 year old 
boy proposed the idea of solving American's debt crisis by "Killing everyone
in China". Instead of  telling the boy that taking anyone's life is 
fundamentally wrong, Mr. Kimmel laughed about it, made the comment that this
was an "interesting idea" and asked the kids in the show "Should we allow 
the Chinese to live?". Mr. Kimmel tried to suggest that "killing everyone" 
is not a very practical solution to that particular problem, not because it 
should not even be an option, but because "if you kill all the people in 
that 
country, nobody can lend you money anymore." Nevertheless, this approach 
remained an "interesting idea", a backup plan, a viable alternative, and a 
potentially effective problem solving strategy.

As the mother of a school-aged child, I find these comments extremely 
disturbing, discriminatory, and violent. The host's complete lack of respect
for life was setting a very toxic example for the next generation of 
Americans. Killing people as a problem solving strategy has been, 
unfortunately, all too familiar to us. With the growing number of campus 
shooting tragedies, young children all over the country have been using this
strategy to get themselves out of unwanted situations. During the past 
couple of days, two wonderful teachers, one in Nevada, the other in Boston, 
were 
murdered by their teenage students. I would say this is no  coincidence 
that these murders occurred right after Jimmy Kimmel's show. 

ABC is a well known broadcasting company and a very popular one among 
American families.  Airing this kind of discriminatory and violence-
promoting skits nationally was a huge mistake, and has already caused damage
to your company's public image.

A sincere apology must be issued. The way Mr. Kimmel reacted to the kid's 
proposal showcased his lack of competence and human decency, thus he is not 
suited for the job of a TV host. His speech is extremely distasteful and 
this is the same rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people. Please
immediately take actions by removing the show and issuing a formal apology 
to the American public.

Thank you,
A concerned mother
