Letter: Enforce rules equally on all people living here

Letter: Enforce rules equally on all people living here

I respond to the April 11 letter “Fairness is not the same as special treatment.” It states “we do claim that the qualities of being American are fairness and justice.”

So shouldn’t the rules that make this a great country be fairly imposed and observed by all?
I attended St. Cloud Technical High School commencements in 2007 and 2009. I was very disappointed at all the shouting and noise after many of the Somali graduates’ names were announced. Yes, there were a few other rule breakers. However most infractions came from the Somalis.
As a father I wanted to hear my children’s names announced, but that was difficult. The school district sent rules for a quiet, dignified commencement ahead of time and announced several times in numerous languages to be quiet. It was obvious there were certain groups that felt those rules did not apply to them.
The rules of this country should be obeyed by all the people who choose to live here
