LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Horowitz finds students criticisms ignorant, offensive

It's obvious from the comments by Brittany Stiles and Mona Luxon that some people had difficulty understanding what I said when I was at Ball State.

In my lecture I did not criticize feminism or the quest for equality for women. I criticized radical feminism, the idea that women are oppressed in America - which I find offensive to people who were actually oppressed like African slaves - and a Women's Studies program that insists on sectarian views of these matters.

I did not make "disparaging remarks about women, immigrants and other minorities." I did not make "assertions that racism does not exist in American society," nor did I say that "all women in America receive pay equal to men."

As the member of a persecuted minority whose parents were high school teachers I hardly qualify as "a man of privilege," as Luxon suggests.

These comments are ignorant and offensive and illustrate the failures in educational instruction at Ball State that were the actual subject of my talk.
