The Right Lesson to Learn from LittletonTo the editors:
I was amused by the ill-applied terminology in "Learning the Wrong Lesson" (Opinion, Oct. 14). Who exactly is the Christian right? Anyone who supports morality? Meredith B. Osborn attacks Republicans on the Kansas Board of Education. Maybe they weren't all Christian Republicans. Maybe they just saw the inherent folly of allowing only one particular point of view to have a voice, a view we certainly don't embrace at Harvard.
The harsh reality is that today's society advocates promiscuity by removing responsibility for the consequences, and creates a double-standard for scientific knowledge by promoting one theory over another. Everyone likes to complain about the ills of society without offering any answers, but when religious groups offer their answer, it's automatically the wrong one.
