‘Lawmen’ Reference
- Share via
I really hate to complain; the Times is usually so sensitive to societal improvements such as inclusive language, but it cannot be passed by that you used the term “lawmen” (Jan. 23) in the article about the planned drug training center.
It’s a cute word if you’re thinking of Matt Dillon and the days of “Gunsmoke.” But it does discount police officers who happen to be women and who, I assume, would be students at the training center. Or, will they?
