To the editor:

I am writing in response to the anonymous letter about the flip flop issue in the schools earlier this week. Obviously this person missed the writer's point which was why do we have an issue with fire ant when we pay these high taxes in Scotland County?

Who is this person to sit back and say that people who wear flip flops will not amount to anything? I graduated from Scotland High Class of 1994.

We have doctors, teachers, and even preachers that came out of our class, and I think I can recall seeing all of them wear flip flops at times. I think their parents made the right choices for them.

My husband and I both work hard everyday to provide for our family and I don't think it's right for people like you to judge us by our shoes when we are off work and relaxing.

I can wear my flip flops and be just as good as you think you are. Get a life, grow up, and stop judging people.

If my kids see shoes that they want, I will get them whether they are flip flops or tennis shoes. But when it come time to apply for college, those shoes will have no impact on what they outcome will be.

It didn't surprise me that this person's letter was anonymous, but I have a cousin that is a psychologist if this person needs his number (and he wears flip flops too.)
