Josey students and alumni, as

Bananas, tomatoes, spinach,

that she may not be voted back on
the board in October.
Though these and other students
who approached the podium to
address Dr. Larke meant what they
said, were they being facetious?
The uproar response by the crowd
made it appear 80. One local televi
sion reporter covering the meeting
was 8o concerned with the stu
dents’ manner of approach to the
school chief, he took 15 second
break from his job to pull one’s coat
tail, which resulted in an apology
before the crowd.
Dr. Larke also issued an apology
on behalf of the board for stalling
the transfer vote. However, he was

last evening? Was it the negative
impression of his attitudinal deliv

evening? Or was Dr. Larke doing
what any human being would do in
the midst of receiving a verbal beat

Regardless how many perceive
him to be, did Dr. Larke deserve
the taunts, the sneers or the snick

well-trained RCBOE palice could
not protect him)? Even Bill Clinton

At least Dr. Larke sucked it up
enough to even show up, which even
surprised many that night, includ
ing Mrs. Dunbar. The fact
remains, young people have a voice

Disagreement is healthy. It
makes the world go ‘round. So is
self-defense.
Thereisanold adage that crosses
generational and international
boundaries of “in order to get re
spect, you must earn respect.” If
respect is not affirmed as a pre
requisite by opposing sides in any
controversial issue, all the voices
in the world, whether it comes from
the mouths of the young, the sub
ordinate, the elder or those in
authority, would be just noise.
