Dear Editor,

It is rather pathetic when a Lehighton Area School Board member falls for the old Internet hoax about kitty litter boxes in school classrooms and actually brings it up at board meeting. My goodness.

Perhaps he would do well to remember the old acronym SIFT.

Stop.

Investigate sources.

Find more coverage.

Trace claims and quotes.

Here’s more free advice. If a Nigerian prince emails you for money and promises a big reward, do not give him your credit card information.

Sincerely,

Midge Heiser

Lehighton
