POT PARTY'S PARTICIPATION CALLED 'INAPPROPRIATE'

Student voters at Kwalikum Secondary in Qualicum Beach didn't hear a 
particular voice at yesterday's school forum.

That's because Marijuana party candidate Michael Mann was not invited.

KSS principal Darryl Craig called Mann's participation inappropriate.

"It's so opposite to what we do here," he says.

Mann says the forum is all about learning about democracy, and his 
exclusion sends a poor message.

"I'm not really surprised," he says. "They aren't giving the students much 
credit."
