I would like to apologize for my comment that was cited in the Sun Journal editorial of Nov. 13. I certainly do not believe that Auburn parents are "better" parents than Lewiston parents. It was an offensive statement which I deeply regret. I was trying to show the absurdity of the Sun Journal's claims about absenteeism by suggesting an equally absurd reason. The statement has rightly blown up in my face and I take full responsibility.
Once again, I do apologize for the offensive statement and any offense I have created. I also regret that my statement has obscured the real story here — the great collaborative work by both school departments in addressing the H1N1 challenge.
David Das, Auburn
Chairman, Auburn School Committee
