Student’s stand

Re “School newspaper drops a V-bomb,” Feb. 16

After four decades as a physician watching the surgical, medical and psychological aftermath of violence against women, it is encouraging that a 15-year-old boy will stand up to be counted in front of his peers. In an honorable world, Cleveland High School Principal Bob Marks would display the same kind of courage and stand alongside his student editor.
