For the record, The East Hampton Press has shown to report the hearing of Maria Dorr and Amagansett School right down the middle: Here are the facts — you decide. Newsday has just taken the same approach.
The comment section online is on fire. To quote the Meta AI recap and what people are saying: “Commenters overwhelmingly support Principal Maria Dorr, expressing disbelief and outrage at the accusations. Many highlight her impeccable character, integrity and dedication as an educator, making the theft allegation implausible. Some suggest ulterior motives behind the district’s actions and encourage legal action if the claims are unfounded.”
Again, we read it here first. Revisit the articles of Christopher Walsh and the December 5, 2024, editorial [“A Criminal Act”]. The briefs are in, and we all await the decision.
Still here.

More Than a StainThe people of Southampton should understand exactly what their town government is doing when it appeals the federal government’s recognition of the Shinnecock Nation’s Westwoods property [“Southampton Town Takes Department of Interior to Court Over Status of Tribal Land in...
Bold Action NeededMy last Letter to the Editor, a year ago, addressed traffic. Nothing has changed — it has only gotten worse. There are just too many cars on the road at the same time, which will increase exponentially if left unchecked....
Don't Forget ThemI am writing to acknowledge and express gratitude to two individuals from our community who I believe were not adequately recognized during the Playhouse pool ribbon-cutting ceremony. While the event had plenty of political photo ops, it overlooked two noteworthy...
