SHOULD THE ALLIANCE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM LVR DEBATE?

To the Editor:

The Daily News reported the expulsion of the Marijuana Party candidate from
the high school election debate. This led me to wonder if the Alliance
representatives would be allowed to spout anti-abortion rhetoric at the
same debate. After all, both candidates support the removal of specific
laws unpopular with specific factions in our national community. So I
called LVR to suggest the inequity of their situation and was informed they
had cancelled the entire debate.

Perhaps this is appropriate. After all it's important that children be
kept ignorant, uninformed and uninvolved for as long as possible. Perhaps
the "High" school should encourage parents to suppress both television and
radio news in the presence of their ignorant but innocent offspring.
