No laws about movie ratings

Editor:

In Gray Echols' editorial of Oct. 4, he states that "legally, the child under 17 cannot see a movie rated 'R' by the Motion Picture Association of America." This is false. There are no laws requiring films to be rated and no laws requiring theaters to enforce ratings.
