Maybe It's Just Me: Today's generation is protesting just because they want to protest

Oct. 3, 2007

I guess I can't complain. Four weeks of peace on this campus is a lot to ask. I overestimated the maturity of my peers, and I was sadly mistaken. Luckily for me, I went home on Thursday. Like an unnecessary sequel to an already horrible movie, Friday's protests on College Green were reminiscent of last spring's meaningless protests by a group of zealous students (some of whom I am sure had no idea what was going on).

Your Turn: Pick up your pens and fight for Ohio consumer protection

Oct. 3, 2007

Ohio consumers have been stripped of their consumer protections and most don't even know it. A law has been passed that will limit the amount of money that businesses that cheat, defraud or deceive Ohio consumers could have to pay if they are sued. Special interest groups, including the car dealers' lobby, persuaded our legislators to make last-minute amendments to this bill. Then our elected officials pushed this bill, SB 117, into law during the lame-duck session, without any public hearing, and at record speed.

Your Turn: An article is satiric; an article is racist; so then satire is racist

Oct. 2, 2007

Your Turn: Calling it the 'Walk of Shame' is insulting, degrading to women

Oct. 2, 2007

In the midst of several Post writers engaging in what they perceived to be humorous columns that were ignorantly discriminative, negative and biased toward certain individuals and cultures, I salute faculty and student members who have voiced their opinions against recent columns and give them thanks for widely opening up dialogue within the Athens community. Ohio University is a community of educated individuals that accept diversity and look out for one another, brother and sister, hand in hand, heart to heart. Right? Then why does Thursday's Post column Avoiding the Walk of Shame make me more uncomfortable, skeptical and hopeless of progressing human compassion? I'm not writing to make an individual attack on the writer of this article, whom I believe innocently thought she was being cute or funny, but hope this commentary enables the writer of this article and those of the educational community to become aware of our human rights and the societal institutions and values that often blind us. I'm not writing exclusively as an activist, or as a female, but I'm writing to give another voice to our community and shed light on discriminative journalistic articles that community members might read everyday, no matter how slight they sway on the scale of offensiveness. Being that September is Sexual Assault Awareness month at Ohio University, I found Tuesday's column Avoiding the Walk of Shame to be both ironic and distasteful. The column discriminates and stereotypes female members of campus as being Sunday morning skirt and heels girls that have mascara smudged down their cheeks, disgruntled ponytails
