‘Cathy’s’ Suspension

Shame on you for violating Guisewite’s First Amendment rights. Suspending the “Cathy” strip because of its alleged bias is a hypocritical and craven act.

The facts she enumerated about the Reagan-Bush Administration’s dismal women’s rights record are, lamentably, true. I believe that Guisewite is being punished no so much for her political thoughts, but for the fact that she has thoughts at all.

View received 86 letters disapproving of The Times’ decision to withhold three “Cathy” comic strips and seven supporting the decision. About 500 readers also telephoned, mostly to protest the decision.
