‘School Daze’

Sorry, Michael, but you missed the point (“ ‘School Daze’ Crammed With Cheeky Satire,” by Michael Wilmington, Feb. 13).
“School Daze” was a letter to black Americans. It was not a satire. Except for the dance numbers, it was an honest look at a black college campus showing some of the attitudes and conflicts of young black Americans. The entire movie was a setup for the dream sequence where Dap runs out to the school bell and insists that everybody wake up, notice their condition and do something about it.
Lee’s approach is straight and simple. So, don’t put the dance down because you can’t move that way.
