A Tragedy, an Agenda
To the editors:

It seems to me unthinkable that Adam I. Arenson ’01 would use the horrible tragedy in his neighborhood school to advance his “anti-Bush” political agenda (Opinion, “Intolerance and School Violence,” March 8).
In calling for gun control, Arenson’s editor’s notebook neglects to mention that California has the strictest gun regulations in the United States. Furthermore, his attempt to play the “race card” is totally inappropriate—the shooter wasn’t even in Arenson’s neighborhood long enough to absorb the alleged culture of racism that Arenson proposes is the root cause of this random act of violence.
