Dear Editor,
Everyone knows about the recent contest to get the band “The Maine” to come to Richmond, and for Maggie Walker students to get free tickets to the show. This could have been a great unifying event for the whole school, even those who dislike the band, if certain students had not overstepped the line.
These students took email addresses from the student directory and entered other students into the contest, without their permission. This was private information given out for use in the Maggie Walker community only, intended to help members of the MLWGS community to contact one another.
This misuse of information is irresponsible and totally unacceptable. I hate to think that I can't even trust my classmates and friends with my email address, and I'm not alone. I love this school, and would normally get behind my friends on this thing, but using others' private information is just going too far.
Never before have I had less confidence in my fellow classmates. This is not an okay use for the private information of other students, and I am disappointed that these individuals did not realize that.
Sincerely,
Holly Brown (’10).
