  • Letter: Beem should take off the headphones, blinders

    Edgar Beem seems unnerved by authority. In his inane musing about the Bonny Eagle administration's attempt to maintain decorum at its graduation, Beem suggests that "respect is something you have to earn."   But respect is earned among your peers. School administra...

    From what we read, the Bonny Eagle High School graduation was marred this year by school and police officials overreacting to the exuberance of youth.
