Implication unjustified
Your Aug. 18 editorial “King/Drew: Jabs and cuts” admonished the opponents of the county’s plan to cut services at King/Drew Medical Center for “repeating charges of racism and sexism that have characterized their position so far.”
Earlier you identified the King/Drew advisory board as having rejected this plan. It is my sincere hope that you did not mean to imply that this group of healthcare experts appointed by county officials to advise them on issues related to this troubled hospital had alleged racism or sexism in expressing its opposition to the proposed service cuts.
If so, you are as guilty of making false accusations as those you would admonish.
