Editor, Daily News:
I have read the various opinions regarding the misguided decision to allow grown men to attend Immokalee High School. I have no doubt that Principal Manny Touron is a compassionate and sincere educator. But compassion and sincerity do not trump reason and responsibility.
Unfamiliar as I am with school bureaucracy, I cannot fathom how these men got into high school in the first place. Once exposed, however, they should have been ejected immediately and directed to resources that can help them find appropriate adult-education programs.
This situation really is outrageous. It's another sad example of how alien residents with suspicious or no documentation apparently do not have to abide by any of the regulations, rules and laws that govern those of us who are here legally. Meanwhile, they soak up resources that taxpayers provide for the education of our children. And our compassionate educators are helping them cheat and flout the law.
Enough.
