I just happen to be one of the so-called “Like little hicks, like from the south,” April Hawley refers to in the News-Times “pornographers to babysit” article of Oct. 12.

I, and I am sure many other Southerners in the area here, take the utmost exception to you stereotyping us for the alleged misdeeds of others. You could use some schooling in culture awareness. Shame on you!
