Letter to the editorLetter to the editorUsing disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong to star in a “celebrity pickleball” fundraiser by a nonprofit is an opportunity for a teachable ethics moment by the Aspen School District. Does the charitable end, raising money for the district by the Aspen Education Foundation, justify associating it with Armstrong, who says he would dope again? He apologized on an Oprah Winfrey TV interview for his doping, cheating and lying as a professional cyclist: “I’m a flawed character, as I well know,” he said. The Aspen Education Foundation should recognize its faulty choice of Armstrong as a fund raiser and return the contributions of over $25,000 back to the generous donors. If the foundation fails to take responsibility for the refund, then the Aspen School Board should stop taking contributions from the foundation.
