Comment On Adams A Limbaugh-Like Attack

Letter to the Editors

By Joel B. Lewis

To the editors:

Regarding the Oct. 2 comment “Our Speciest Culture”: I was appalled to read Travis R. Kavulla’s description of Carol Adams’ talk at Quincy Dining Hall. Kavulla’s article contains none of the thoughtfulness, insight, or analysis that one would expect of a piece on the editorial page of The Crimson. Instead, it is a collection of bad insults and jibes. By his own admission, Kavulla did not “attempt rational debate with Ms. Adams.” He made no attempt to disprove or even contest any of Adams’ views, instead attempting to make a joke of her. That kind of rhetoric is more well-suited to Rush Limbaugh than The Crimson.
