they can adopt one of the "boarder

In an article which appeared In
your November 8-14, 1992 . ue
titled "Joy and Concern Over Casino
Gambling Passage," Highland Park
City Council Pre ide nt, Dwight
Downes, is quoted as saying, "High
land Park High School students were
allowed to leave class from 8-11 am
election day to pass out literature for
casino gambling and an election
slate he gave them at the polls."
Downes is also quoted as saying
students received credit in their sub
jects for "playing a part in the event".
A banner headline that appears on
the front page of the same issue
states, "Highland Par)c High School
studen used to push casino issue "
We object to these tatements and
their implications. As part of unit on

and were allowed to observe ac
tivities at the polls on election day.
TIley were given credit for writ
ing summaries describing what they
observed. It was felt that this ex
perience would encourage students
to become active in community af
fairs. Some students did volunteer to
pass out literature. However, they
were neither coerced into doing so,
nor did they receive credit for such
activities. They were simply exer-
cising righ of choice that are taught
in every chool in America,
In fact, in a school-wide urvey it
was found that the student body
evenly divided on the' ue of casino
.gambling.
We regret that your paper found
it necessary to mi lead your readers
concerning this event without first
checking the facts with primary
sources. To the be t of our
knowledge, no high school teacher
�r official was interviewed regard
ing this matter.
We wish to re-emphasize that the
activity was designed to allowed the
students to observe a historic event
and become familiar with the elec
tion process. We are convinced that
these types of activities will en
