responses

amaze me the hypocrisy that exists on college campuses. The
same institutions that belabor respect for differences of culture
and opinion clearly detest opposing viewpoints.
The brainwashing
of students in the leftist agenda is plainly evident when
the Forty-Niner, which finds it necessary to explain

Gary Jellison
is a graduate student in geography.
I'm relived to
know that you are aware of our rights under the First Amendment.
As you have equated, if this page is an ad for a product,
and Mr. Horowitz is the pitchman, he needs to be fired. He

Jonathan Taylor
is an OCST graduate student and the grandson of a slave.

the facts for what they are in attempts to absolve ourselves
of guilt or responsibility regarding slavery. My ancestors
were property and helped build this country.
The system that
has been implemented because of slavery, racism, and capitalism
continues to oppress African-Americans across the country.
Because of slavery,
I do not know my true last name, my heritage, cultural background
or what country or tribe in Africa I descend from.
Harold Fisher
II is a senior film and English major.

these and all responses can be seen at the On-line
