Punishing and drastically reordering an entire newspaper in the aftermath of an unpopular opinion does not send a healthy message about the value Fairfield places on learning.
Bringing freedom of the press and community standards of justice together in The Mirror obliges the student editors to generate and live by a code of ethics that coheres with the community standards of Fairfield University.
Quite simply, Mr. Surette's diatribes are full of moronic drivel. I struggle to find any journalistic merit in his words, even as sophomoric satirical op-eds go.
As a college student, I am absolutely in shock that the misogynist ramblings of this misguided (and probably dangerous) amateur made it onto the pages of your newspaper.
Tell those who cry "censorship" when you refuse to give them a platform for their preaching the same thing I do: Go start a LiveJournal. They are not entitled to a place in your paper any more than they are entitled to a spot on national TV.
Unfortunately, it has not taken long for the new Senior Vice President’s office to cover itself with shame. The administration’s threat to cancel funding for The Mirror is so many times more disgraceful then the original column that prompted the threat.
