Editor,
This letter is in response to the Daily Lobo article, “If you can read this, don’t read this,” by freelance writer Gianna May. First, let me say that the author of the piece did a tremendous job at representing the importance of adult literacy programs. Of course, people wouldn’t know this because they probably didn’t read the article, and who can blame them? The title is condescending, offensive and downright rude.
The article is supposed to be — and is — a piece about an important resource for those who can’t read. I am disappointed that instead of representing the charity and all of the good things it has done, and continues to do, the Daily Lobo decided to make a snide and badly ironic joke.
