Voicing opinions on ad decision

Editor's Note:
On Thursday, the Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, Assistant Managing Editor and Advertising Manager of The Observer addressed a letter to readers in which they expounded reasons that David Horowitz's advertisement entitled, "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea — and Racist Too," was not run by the paper.
In that letter, they promised to set aside today's Viewpoint section to run all letters received discussing slavery reparations and free speech. After that letter ran, we received two letters.
Printed below are those letters.
The Viewpoint section remains open to discussion of these issues. Letters dealing with them will face the same selection process as any other letter.
