A Printed Error

Re Equality and Dialogue, Letters, February

The letter ascribes an act of blatant sexism to a Jew. The actual event was a complaint by a Muslim. I cannot believe such an error could be printed. Does the writer actually believe it was a Jew? Would he rather it had been a Jew? Does no one edit comments on this board? What’s going on here?

The Editor responds:
At the time of publication we believed the student in question had been so identified. In fact, at this point neither the student nor his religious affiliation has been identified. We apologize for the error.
