As an Evanston resident, I was impressed with your treatment of the Evanston racial steering incident recently reported in the Neighborhood News column [March 3]. After living in Wilmette for six months, my husband and I moved to Evanston with the hopes of finding a more diverse, liberal group of neighbors. There is nowhere in the Chicago metropolitan area I’d rather live. This is why I take great issue with a comment made by Judy Jager, a staff organizer for the Evanston Neighborhood Conference, who you quoted in your article.
I think Ms. Jager owes an apology to the childless couples of Evanston, and those throughout the Chicago area who may have read her comments. And she should clearly reevaluate her own values; she may be working to eliminate prejudice in one domain, but she is clearly contributing to it in another.
