Dear Editor:
How sad that you have reduced the school newspaper to the level of the “National Enquirer”. Mr. Harwood, you are training the next generation of media vultures.
Yes, the topics of “Facebook” and unruly college gatherings (“Cedarfest”) are important. Our children need to be informed about these dangers. But is it necessary to plaster their pictures over the front page? They ARE still children. Who doesn’t make mistakes at their age? I challenge Mr. Harwood and the Highlander reporters to be held up to the same scrutiny. Should their families be publicly hurt and humiliated in the same way?
These stories could easily have been presented without the tabloid tactics. Do you really think George Fraser is the only Seaholm alum to get into trouble? Is it necessary to add insult to injury for a very nice family?
Mr. Piper, where were you when this was published? As for Mr. Harwood, I hope your child never makes a mistake and finds his name and pictures on the front page. Let’s find a little empathy and teach that instead.
SHAME ON YOU!
