Accountability. The word should be etched in the forehead of every parent who questioned the alcohol/ drug testing suspensions at the Newbury Park prom. The parents missed a golden "teachable moment. More ... Regarding Dorthy Campagna's "shoot the coyotes" letter, doesn't our history tell us that our forefathers did the same thing to buffalo and native Americans? Regarding the story about seniors being banned from graduation ceremonies, has anyone asked when the Breathalyzers were last calibrated and certified? More ... This is in response to Dorothy Campagna's June 18 letter ("If coyotes put human beings in peril, shoot them.")
