POT-SMOKING PRINCIPAL: REACTION DEBATED

I cannot agree with Vernonia School Superintendent Kenneth Cox and the
Vernonia School Board in allowing Aaron Miller to retain his job. He
not only was caught smoking dope in a public place but also had to be
handcuffed after becoming "agitated" with a police officer ("Vernonia
principal in hot water over pot," July 11).

A school principal serves as a role model to his students --
especially elementary students. It is hypocritical to say to your
child, "Your school principal can use dope, but don't you do it."
