Son entitled to his views, but he is not me

A friend called me Monday morning to bring my attention to a letter to the editor (Herald, June 13) written by my 15-year-old son with the headline "Religion has been bringing humanity down." My friend was concerned because the letter took an inflammatory stance regarding religion that could be offensive to some.
After reading the letter, I also became concerned, because my son and I share the same name, and some people might think it was written by me.
I want to clarify that while I do not share my 15-year-old son's views about religion, I support his individuality and his right to form his own opinions even when they stray away from what I try to instill in him.
