Note from the Editor

I was taken by surprise at the reaction to a recent piece I posted on the site. When comments from several people made clear that an analogy was culturally insensitive I quickly took down the post. My intent was to write a piece about respect for the decision making process at the Board of Education but the choice of words caused the message to get lost.

I apologize to anyone who was offended and will be more thoughtful in the future. I am hopeful that the community can also be more respectful to each other -- and allow their neighbors to express their views, whether the issue is the non-partisan system, an educational issue, plans for the library or the Greenacres School.

There are as many opinions as there are people in Scarsdale, and that's what makes it such an interesting place to live. Let's harness our intelligence to elevate the level of discourse so that we can reach consensus and forge a great future for our Village.
