Deb Snustad, Grand Forks, letter: Condemnations of all students are uncalled for
I am in total agreement that the three students who chose to put on KKK-like garments at the high school hockey game the previous evening were totally inappropriate. What frustrates me are the comments that are being made by many people in reference to the entire student section and to student population of Red River High School as a whole.

DEBORAH TODHUNTER: Remember this about students: They’re students
In my opinion — and perhaps the opinion of others in Grand Forks — what those three immature, unthinking and impulsive students did was not a result of a problem at Red River or this community. It could have been because they are immature and acted in a self-centered manner, perhaps to get attention. Fourteen-year-olds do that.
