POT-SMOKING PRINCIPAL: REACTION DEBATED

When I read the editorial "Vernonia ponders pot again," I thought that
this guy (Aaron Miller) is getting off with a slap on the wrist. He is
the figurehead of Washington Grade School and here he is smoking pot,
an illegal substance, while the Vernonia School District cracks down
on athletes and the school district is just giving Miller
"discipline."

What is he, a 10-year-old with his hand caught in the cookie jar? No,
he is an allegedly grown man and responsible adult whose job it is to
oversee a school filled with young, impressionable students who try to
emulate what the adults are doing. Not the kind of role model you want
your kids to be around, huh?

I think that Miller should get his just desserts for inappropriate
actions. Vernonia School District needs to swing the ax.
