Your Turn: Prostituted youth need help

Mar. 9, 2009

The Post article on child prostitutes shined some light on the problem but did not tell the whole story. First off the term child prostitute doesn't truly describe the situation. Ken Lawson, a vice cop from Columbus, prefers the term prostituted child. It is his belief that no child would on their own volition choose this lifestyle for themselves. I would like to pull out two phrases that were in the article - enslaved and domestic trafficking. These children are victims, they are modern slaves; calling them child prostitutes turns them into criminals. They are for the most part forced into prostitution by pimps, drug dealers, and sometimes family members.

Your Turn: Incorrectly presented facts skew Israel-Palestine crisis

Mar. 9, 2009

Alex Homan not only states incorrect facts in his op-ed article, Between the lines: Israel breaches international law to punish Palestine (March 9), but it also seems as though he is looking in the wrong places for credible information. First, it is incorrect for Alex to mention the numbers of overall Palestinians killed in comparison to Israelis, given the fact that three fourths of Palestinians killed are members of Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization. He stated that 400 of those killed were children, but in reality, according to the most cited Palestinian source, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, the total number of children killed up to January 21 is 280. Of these, 55 were males aged 15 to 17 and it's fair to assume that many of those males were likely to be Hamas combatants.

Your turn: AAUP's effective history makes it better option for faculty

Mar. 9, 2009

The latest public statement from the Committee for an Independent Faculty (OUCIF) states that the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is an ineffectual organization.  Faculty certainly need to determine the effectiveness of anyone they might choose as their representative, but OUCIF's charge, which casts doubt on whether OU faculty can trust the AAUP to represent them competently, is erroneous.
