Sunday night ‘sext’ messages ruining traditional booty calls

Letter to the editor: Brite alumna disappointed in school for pastor’s recognition

Published Mar 20, 2008

I attended Brite during the years 1967-69, then the School of Theology at Claremont for four years.


I have removed Brite from my resume. I am ashamed to hear the national report that Brite is honoring Jeremiah Wright.


Let's use some of Wright's words: "No. No. No. Not God bless Brite Divinity School. God #$@%$# Brite Divinity School. It's in the Bible for honoring hatred and bigotry."


My generation studied Gandhi. We marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez. We fought a good fight against racism.
