Vocabulary test

To the editor:

Steve Abrams has made it abundantly clear that he does not understand the meaning of the word “science.” Recent statements by Mr. Abrams, in which he accused public school teachers of using pornography in literature classes, illuminate another gap in his working vocabulary.

Mr. Abrams, assuming you know how to use a dictionary, please find one and look up the word “slander.” Then, count your blessings that I am not a teacher of literature. If I were, I would also suggest you look up the word “defendant.”
