    Editorials like this one are why we never got a subscription. What an idiot. Not only could Harold not last one day in the classroom, he's blaming the victim. Ramirez was one of the last rays of hope is this district. Now we're left with a female Dick Cheney running the district - although Dick is smarted than our dictator.
