Opinions differ, tempers flare in California

Editor's note: Several important issues have created controversy in California and recent media reports have made the situation worse for those in leadership positions within the state. During the past year, the World Chiropractic Alliance has worked closely and productively with the two major California organizations, as well as the newly appointed members of the Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and have supported all parties involved in the valiant effort to rid the old board of anti‑chiropractic and corrupt elements. We are confident that all parties in California will soon be able to resolve their differences and work cooperatively for the betterment of the profession and the state. However, since other publications (chiropractic and mainstream) have failed to report the events in an accurate and unbiased manner, The Chiropractic Journal has agreed to publish the following articles representing differing viewpoints on various issues.
