The article, “Culture Reaction: Would you still be her friend?” on March 11 concerned me very much when I read about other students ridiculing their classmate.

These students also are the ones who wear their jeans below their waist, jeans that cost $40 or more that are raveled and have holes in them, and girls exposing their breasts as much as is allowed, and some even more.

Caitlin’s hijab (head scarf) is a fine and attractive piece of dress. I wish people were not so biased about other cultures.

This young woman is a very smart student if she has Harvard in her future.

I wonder if those students who ridiculed her even have high school graduation in their thoughts.
