...found the views of Ta-Nehisi Paul Coates off base and offensive in his piece about his disenchantment with black music, "Black Guy, White Music" [Aug. 22].

...implications of the "Evolution Wars" over teaching intelligent design along with Darwinian theory are primarily philosophical, not scientific [Aug. 15]. To suggest that stimulating debate about evolution would hamper U.S. leadership in science and technology is ridiculous. Teaching the controversy can challenge students like me to think analytically about what we are learning...
