Letter writer says Barnes & Noble’s event with Belle sending wrong message to our youth

Dear Editor:

Educators work hard for many years to earn their credentials. Educators spend thousands of dollars and begin their profession saddled with debts just to legitimately call themselves educators.

Ironically, educators will be hosted at Barnes and Noble on Educators Appreciation Day by Jeff Belle, a felon who falsifies his credentials mocking the profession as nothing but letters randomly chosen and strategically placed after his last name. www.jeffbelleconman.com.

Barnes and Noble was made aware of Belle’s lies to the community but has chosen to continue with this event. Is Barnes and Noble encouraging our youth to take the easy route; to blatantly falsify credentials instead of going to school and to claim honor when it is not deserved?

This is insensitive to our community.

Cynthia Ruehlig

Belle beat Ruehlig for County School Board in last fall’s election.

    I think we should let the system work. We should teach our kids, if we lose, bow gracefully, and let it be.

    I think people are setting a horrible example by continue a witch hunt, because they didn’t get the results they wanted.

    The citizens voted him in even after they knew the truth about him. Why pick on the bookstore for having him there when he shouldn’t be in office anyways, but he is thanks to the fine citizens who elected him.
