Mr Ludke has every right to believe what he believes and our constitutional right of free speech gives him every right to stand on a soapbox or hold a sign and speak those beliefs in public.  But having those beliefs published in a newspaper is something else and I'm very disappointed in the PDN for their decisions to publish this letter and would very much like an explanation of why they thought this was appropriate.  What's next?  Women are inferior because they have less upper body strength?  Eugenics prove that African Americans are inferior to whites?  Where are your ethical boundaries, PDN?
