Spring Break
Our View: Express your rights at the BSC meeting tonight
Issue date: 9/26/07 Section: Opinion
As we've asserted quite often in the few days, we're crazy about public debate.
For this reason, we encourage any and all students to attend the Board of Student Communications meeting tonight at 7 p.m. in room C101 of the Plant Sciences building.
Whether you stand with us on our editorial or whether you would like to see the lot of us fired, it is important that people attend.
America is a democracy, and as such, it is imperative that as many voices as possible come out to the meeting to make sure the will of the community is known to the Board members charged with deciding the future of the Collegian's editor in chief.
If nobody comes, it will show Fort Collins and the nation that CSU students are apathetic about their rights and their school.
It is important we, as a student body, show that we have pride in our university and we care about the future of a Student Media.
We realize that our editorial has become a polarizing force on our campus, so we do ask one thing of detractors and supporters alike - please be civil to each other tomorrow night.
You make think it rich of us to be asking this, but we know how things can get in a politically charged atmosphere.
Protest our crudeness or applaud our expression, but don't let our statement divide you as students.
Don't let our statement make you forget at least one thing, if the only, that we have in common.
We're all CSU Rams. Protest in peace.

I'm a CSU ram. This immature "free speech" mongeror should lose his job and should go to the countries where he can't say shit like this. My brother fought in Iraq for this piece of shit. (Continued…)

Don't let your editing slack in the meantime. Is it tonight or tomorrow night? Please clarify for your readers.

If the editor is not fired or does not resign the CSU alumni society better never call me for a donation again. I will no longer consider CSU my alma mater. (Continued…)

I FULLY SUPPORT MR. MCSWANE. It is frightening that repercussions are so severe to those who speak out against Bush. It isn't the fact that the F word was used. (Continued…)

I have just arrived to Colorado from Canada and I find this debate fascinating.
I have taught my children from the third grade that profanity is a sign of an itellectual bankruptcy. (Continued…)

We got your back, McSwane. Don't let these crazy knee-jerks fool ya. Free speech is as American as apple pie. America supports you for stating the obvious. (Continued…)

We're with you McSwane! My business will also be buying advertising in your paper as a result of this.

Universities and Newspapers are supposed to stir controversy and provoke thought. I stand with the editorial staff and I stand for free speech. the "F" word is a common part of the English language now like it or not and I am surprised this has caused such a fuss. (Continued…)

Not being one to shout or stand on street corners with a sign in hand, I select a more personal approach to my politics. Being self employed I have final choice in all matters pertaining to my business. (Continued…)
