Mr. Pipes,

Maybe you should actually spend a day IN the school, rather than ignorantly accusing it of being "oppressive." I'm a senior at Universal, and my whole class is pretty normal...Just because none of us drink or sleep around means we're social deviants? Please.

Daniel Pipes replies:

Glad to hear your class is pretty normal. But before accusing me of calling the Universal School "oppressive," maybe you should actually read my article, where I did not use that word, or anything similar, to describe it.
