EDUCATORS ONES WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE

IT IS NOT the editor of The Rockbridge Weekly who should apologize for printing the Parry McCluer High School seniors' letters verbatim ("Editor's pen leaves stain on students," June 14). It is the English teacher for not doing her job properly, and the principal for backing her up. Seems to me the school board would do well to look twice at their credentials before contract-renewal time.

And you should slap the wrist of the person who thought up that silly heading, which leaves the impression that the Roanoke Times & World-News thinks it's all right to reward ignorance, too.
