This is just another example of why freedom and tolerance are preferable to censorship and narrow-minded refusal to consider all sides of an important controversy such as reparations for slavery.
Congratulations for a principled stand, but also for your brilliant strategy in upholding the dignity and professionalism of The Crimson. Horowitz has embarassed a number of campus papers that were afraid to publish his controversial views or that capitulated to mob rule by apologizing for having run the ad. The Crimson should be proud of its decision.
