According to the folks at the devil's advocate, Rowan and Co. have decided that their cartoon episode is "old news." A student who wrote an article about the Jena 6 -- linking it to racism at CCSU -- has been rejected, denied the right to publish in her own student newspaper. Turns out, the "editors" are invoking their responsibilities as "editors" -- but only when it suits 'em.
For real -- say it along with me -- CENSORSHIP. Here's where the real censorship is. Turns out we can use both the First and Fourteenth Amendments to our favor!
Oh, and John Petroski's letter to the editor makes me laugh out loud. The boy who penned "Rape Only Hurts If You Fight It" wants you to know that he knows what equality's all about. Now that's thoughtful. Clearly he's learned a thing or two and wants to share it with all of us.
We have to demand our fees be returned. And we have to keep the pressure going.
