Reactions to 'Higher Learning' were disturbing

To the Editor: Having just returned from Thursday night's screening of John Singleton's "Higher Learning," I found that I was not nearly so disturbed by this poignant (albeit heavy-handed) film as I was by the reaction of the audience -- a group made up of my friends and classmates. Throughout the movie, which focused on issues surrounding the understanding (or lack thereof) of differences on America's college campuses, a small but vocal group of those in attendance saw fit to make public their reactions to it.
