Kit, I have read each Forum response to this act of censorship, and have waited for a definitive answer such as you've provided. From the beginning I've been enraged over what Mr. Gribben has done and have believed it to be a blatant surrendering of scholarship. It was the same rage I felt years ago when I saw the director of art I worked for, after a complaint from a parent, using markers to place halters on all the Gauguin Tahitian women in an art book. You have so well articulated for me what I felt. I am sending your response to my son who is the Vice Provost and also director of the writing center he formed at St. John's in Queens. He collects gems like yours. -- Ron O. in Elmira
