To the editor: I was very offended to hear that you are considering taking One Fabulous Mama’s column out of the paper. I understand that some were upset about what she wrote and took offense to her term “J-man”. That is fine. They can be offended. They can voice their opinion. I have a question though. Is this paper going to live in this century in America, or are you going to let it be taken back to the dark ages or shoved into a George Orwell epic? I can assure you that there is a HUGE amount of non-Christians in Newton County. If you remove this column from the paper because of a few uptight over-judgmental individuals, you are falling down on the job. I would be appalled if there were any further action taken on this matter, and you can be sure this paper would NOT be in this house ever again.

Editors note: At no time has The News considered pulling the One Fabulous Mama column.
