Re: Word on the Web (4/17/12) and Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,   I was reading the latest issue of the Temple News this morning, and quite frankly, I was taken aback at the Community section, specifically “Letter to the Editors” and the “Word on the Web.” First on the page is Word on the Web, and a comment that starts out “Palestinians are a [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor, Students for Intellectual Freedom turned three years old in March. During those three years, infamous claims of bigotry, particularly against Muslims, have been assigned – via character assassination attacks – to us by on- and off-campus socialist, communist and Islamic groups. While it has always been exciting for me to defend us against [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,   For many of us, the public library will always be synonymous with books. The books drew us to the library in the first place, helped us discover new worlds – beyond our day-to-day experiences. Libraries continue to embody that same spirit of search and discovery, but in a manner that has been [...]

RE: “Explore other parts of the city should NID pass”

Dear Editor:   Complaining about paying to better areas you complain about that you’ll only live in for an inconsequential amount of time is one of the most blatant and egregiously ignorant arguments from a clear vantage point of entitlement and privilege. Matt Petrillo stated in a March 19 opinion article that he wants “a [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor, This past Tuesday, March 27, the Temple College Republicans and the Temple College Democrats held a debate in the Underground and discussed issues affecting the local community and the nation. This event could not have been put together without the great leadership of Temple College Republicans President Erik Jacobs and Temple Democrats President [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor, There is a growing trend across the nation’s colleges and universities – a movement that promotes student health. Throughout the country, college and university campuses are adopting smoke-free or tobacco-free policies. According to the American Lung Association, there are presently 270 colleges and universities that have enacted policies completely prohibiting the use of [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,   In response to the recent letter submitted by Temple College Republicans concerning the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive policy I find it necessary to inform The Temple News’ readers of the actual facts of the policy and debunk the other erroneous statements espoused by their letter. President Barack Obama appointed Secretary of Health [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,   Rick Santorum says American law should never violate Biblical commands and often it doesn’t. For example, both prohibit murder and theft. Yet, the conflicts are enormous. American law nourishes capitalism while the Bible would destroy it by commanding us to sell all we own and give the proceeds to the poor. The [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,   Well Rush Limbaugh, you have certainly done it again. Although this is not the first time your mouth has spewed such hateful language, perhaps it should be the last time you say anything more on your corporate-sponsored program. Yes, that’s right – it is time for you to resign or be put [...]

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,   Last week The Temple News censored my letter to the editor and changed the phrase “pro-life” to “anti abortion” in an attempt to change the messaging behind my letter, which criticized a previously-written letter that attacked the GOP for being anti-contraception and perpetuating a so-called “war on women.” Whether or not you [...]
