Dear Editor,
Has it occurred to anyone that we're all playing into Doran Dixon's hands by rewarding him for his Neanderthal behaviour with daily headlines and TV interviews, making him a media star overnight?
Had he been ignored, no one would remember him as anything but a boorish, indisciplined, poor excuse for an educator. Thanks to our appetite for "giving the people what they want", ie sensationalism, Dixon has been elevated to celebrity status on TV, in headlines, peddling his particular brand of indiscipline and lack of manners.
Even his colleagues have taken the bait, seeking to banish him from their elections, making him a martyr. I would not be the least bit surprised if he doesn't leave Mico to open his own university, to grant degrees in how to behave like a spoiled brat.
