I am sure that there will be many letters about the referendum failing in Luverne's school district last night. I am going to write another one. Words cannot begin to describe the disappointment I felt when hearing the news that it failed. I don't understand why we wouldn't support education.Walking through the halls of Luverne High School today was depressing. I wish there was a way to describe what I saw and felt. Teachers I had never seen angry, upset, or hurt were down. Students who I never saw care had a look of defeat in their eyes. Students walked around with their heads down, and everybody was wondered what was going to happen now. Although it was a beautiful day outside, the minds of the teachers and students were full of gloom. Sitting in classes, teachers didn't really seem into it — but neither did the students. Our school is divided politically, but the one issue we stood together on was the referendum. We all looked around at each other and wondered how the community could vote something so essential down. I just don't get it — and I don't know who does.I think it is extremely selfish of the people in Rock County to vote down education. Critical cuts are going to be made, and then the administration and school board are going to be blamed for not giving students the opportunities they deserve. I challenge the people that voted this referendum down. I challenge you to look me, my classmates, and my teachers in the eye and tell me that you made Rock County better. I challenge you to say that you improved society and made the world a better place.Sadie DietrichLuverne
