Had seen that Holloway is an ass.
"Dear Patricia Dowd,
Indeed, you should have held off sending it. Your letter reflects nothing so much as an impoverished spirit and intellect. What a shame, for you, and your family. "
First: Holloway is a dumbass.
Second: All parents who intend to send their children to these "Ivy League" schools should be asking the hard questions about the intelligence and qualifications of the professors, and of the classes their students are going to be required to endure to cater to the egos of the "Hate men, hate whitey" crowd.
I read that earlier. I'm sure you've heard that Duke has been whining that the Gang of 88 has been on the receiving end of some nasty e-mails. I don't doubt that is true, and at a press conference Karla Hollaway produced excerpts from Mrs. Dowd's e-mail to make the point. Mrs. Dowd asked the N&O to print the entirety of the exchange because Duke took some sentences out of context, and Holloway's response to be seen in proper context as well. Dowd's e-mail is tough and on occasion personal but certainly not evidence of the "vile, racist, sexist" e-mails Duke represented them to be. Ironically, Mrs. Dowd was the parent that Houston Baker wrote an e-mail to referring to her children as "farm animals" and prclamation of their innocence as "LIES." These people and Duke have the unmitigated gall to complain when folks return fire. Pampered and haughty, and the real embarrassment is that these folks are teaching at Duke. Every time they open their mouths, my Duke degree is worth slightly less.
It reminded me of when Nifong leaked Ryan McFayden's e-mail in the spring. It was taken totally out of context, and had nothing to do with the case but was solely designed to embarrass and humiliate. Duke did the same thing here. Why Duke is so obssessed with making lacrosse players and their families look bad in public to this day is beyond me. There does not seem to be a point except to placate some radical faculty.
Did you read the response?? Piece of trash...

A great example of when to say nothing. Prof. Holloway clearly has one mean streak and a total lack of empathy.
May God forgive her.
