Letter: Jennie Robbins on ‘Committee collapse takes democracy with it’

Dear editor:

“Seriously?” is the only way I could describe my feelings about the April 18, 2013 issue of the Eagle. The lack of respect in one specific article titled “Committee collapse takes democracy with it” disgusts me.

Now I understand that everyone has an opinion and dissolving the SFC may have been against the wishes of some students but to publish “hail Dictator Prestwich” in a newspaper that is read not only by students but by community members is simply put, class-less.

There are other ways to get your opinions and feelings across without resorting to terms that we commonly associate with the most callous people to walk the earth (Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Saddam Hussein).

I’m positive that Chadron State’s administration does not share any characteristics with those men, so why stoop to that level of disrespect?

I would also greatly appreciate an article explaining the other side of the argument about the SFC. Especially since the only 3 articles in the paper (other than the Man on the Street section) either had the same opinion or appeared to be somewhat biased due to the staff that was involved in writing the article.

Trying to understand both sides of the argument and showing others that even this argument has two sides is crucial for a newspaper and overall is just a classy and respectful thing to do.

I didn’t see that in issue number 13 of the Eagle this week.

To say the least, I’m very disappointed.
