Ephraim Sella, Byron Bay

Late last year we learned (Daily Telegraph, 23 December 2012)  that someone had mailed hate mail, including cat poo, to members and employees of the P&C at Byron Bay High School in an attempt to intimidate them, as the perpetrator is unhappy with the changes at the canteen over the past year.

Typical of all bullies, this person is a coward, and remains anonymous.

Others who led and supported the agitation against progressive changes at the canteen are just as cowardly. Not one of them has stepped forward to disavow the criminal acts done on their behalf. As long as they remain silent, they are condoning this behaviour. Shame on them.
