The coaches at Easton High School have apparently seen lacrosse players Casey Edsall and Graham Dennis with the lighter and pocket knife that landed the two with suspensions ("A penknife, a lighter — and 2 suspensions," May 10). If anyone should be in trouble, it is the school board for not properly training its employees to be on the lookout for such items and to take appropriate action. If the coaches thought nothing of it, the other students thought nothing of it, and the parents thought nothing of it, the school board should think nothing of it.
