A critique of last month’s PT editorial appeared in a letter to LPA Listserv (11/4). An alternative explanation for the apparently crude comments referenced in the editorial is that they were a joke referring to the picture of the rocking horse in PT No. 1, not the Editor. So, any resulting rumors about the Editor may be due to what the writer noted as tunnel vision of those opposed to Act 251.
PT checked with the author of Rumors in the Marketplace, Professor Emeritus of Social Psychology at Tulane University, Dr. Fredrick Koenig, who noted that this is part of in-group, out- group dynamics, where any derogatory comments serve to distract from real issues.
In this case the real issue would be the impact of Act 251 on psychology in Louisiana.
