Letter to the editor
Student offended by comic
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to you to tell you of a grievous concern I have relating to the comic section in your newspaper. In said section, there is a comic called “Nathan Pretzelberger” which I find disgusting and completely distasteful. In a newspaper published by an institution whose primary goal is education, I am outraged to find such narrow minded messages of bigotry.
The recent comic in the Comixtravaganza Winter 2008 edition is incredibly derogative and insensitive towards anyone who believes in God, and/or is pro-life. The negative stereotypes that were used without any disclaimer were extremely offensive and callous. I am positive that I am not the only one who feels similarly and would demand a written apology from the artist in compensation.
In the future I would hope that you would take more care in reviewing the materials submitted for your publication.
