To the editors:
My son is considering Dartmouth (and Harvard), but I have
misgivings about what I believe to be Dartmouth’s anti-woman, and
possibly anti-gay, fraternity culture. By reporting on “Hard Guy Tees”
(“Dartmouth T-Shirts Come Under Fire,” News, Oct. 13), you put that Neanderthal culture in the spotlight.
But why stop short of denouncing their creators, Robert J.
Zangrilli and David Z. Grey? Just as frat “brothers” have always found
safety in numbers, these two hide their odious opinions behind the
claim that they are being funny. They must be called to account.
Zangrilli says that the shirts express an “extremist, primitive, and
self-destructive” idea. So why express it at all?
