Ice-T and ‘the System’
Re “Ice-T Tells It Like He Is to Stanford Law Students” (Feb. 22): For Ice-T to condemn the Constitution and “the system” that has allowed him to profitably spread and publicize his poisonous message is the height of hypocrisy.
As an L.A. teacher, I am acutely aware of the negative influence that artists such as Ice-T have on kids. If Ice-T and others like him really want to help L.A., then they must exemplify love and tolerance over hate and confrontation.

Lecture sponsor--A Feb. 27 Calendar story about a speech at Stanford University by rapper Ice-T may have implied that the appearance was sponsored by the university’s law school. The speech was held at a law school auditorium but was sponsored by student groups not associated with the law school.
