TRUE IGNORANCE OVER CANNABIS

To the editor:

Stephen B. Perrott complained that The Daily News has "ignorant
contributors who know little of fascism and authoritarianism" (Letters,
April 30).

Is Mr. Perrott really savvy to what the proper criteria is for describing
fascism? Is there some official rulebook of what is politically permissible
to call fascist-like and what isn't?

Of course, a school environment requires rules of conduct. Calling in
police, though, using limited funds and resources to finance an undercover
operation, over the use of a relatively safe herb like cannabis is truly
ignorant, in my opinion.
