I am a longtime reader of Street Sense, which I always find informative and thought-provoking. The periodic columns by your conservative writer, Jeffery McNeil, provide a fresh voice and a different perspective than what one might expect. I strongly disagree with those who have written to you suggesting that Mr. McNeil’s columns should be censored or eliminated because they do not agree with him. Whether one agrees with Mr. McNeil’s worldview or not, he has a right to express his opinions, and it is a credit to your editorial staff that you allow a diversity of viewpoints to be expressed in your pages.
Please continue to stand up for freedom of speech and diversity of ideas.
