LETTER: Columnist was misinformed
To the editor:
As a woman, a Jew, and a mother of three Jewish sons, all of whom have had their Brit Milah — ritual circumcision — I am dumbfounded by your agreement to publish the March 23 “Lizzen Up” column by Liz Emery.
In a world so filled with informed, scholarly opinion as ours is, why have you wasted space by giving it to Ms. Emery to speak on a 4,000-year old tradition about which she is blatantly and harmfully misinformed?
God forbid, anyone, naïve of the issues, would read her column and be convinced by her arrogant stance, inept research, and embarrassingly uneducated opinion.
