To Those Students Who Are Black at Auburn:
I have followed The Plainsman’s coverage of recent public remarks regarding homosexual and transgender students; I read the faculty responses to Dr. Bruce Murray’s social media posts and Dr. Murray’s rebuttal.
My brother was gay and died of AIDS, and I have gay friends who are happily married. Everybody who knows me would describe me as somewhere left of center. In other words, I’m an odd person to come to the defense of Dr. Bruce Murray, the tenured professor “upholding views and statements that are offensive to many students.” This recent controversy, however, has made me uncomfortable for a lot of reasons.

Orthodox Jews, Muslims, evangelical Christians and Catholics among students and faculty at Auburn may be surprised to learn that a group of professors in the College of Education considers them mentally ill and a danger to those who hold secular views about sexuality.
In this week's Auburn football notebook, sports writer Harrison Tarr opines on a closer-than-expected Tigers win over Ole Miss, and questions why Jordan-Hare's student section was half-empty in the fourth quarter of a tight SEC game.
On Thursday, Oct. 31, The Auburn Plainsman published an article shedding light on the “undercurrent of fear” many LGBTQ+ students experience at Auburn University. Editor-In-Chief Medina highlighted that Dr. Bruce Murray, a faculty member in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching, authored homophobic and transphobic social media posts and local newspaper op-ed pieces.
Based on personal conversations, the recent extreme — hot and dry — weather in Alabama and the southeast has caused more citizens to discuss climate change.
I was glad to see that Sen. Doug Jones hosted an event in Auburn earlier this month. That’s the second time he’s been on campus in the past six months, and his visits make it clear that he’s dedicated to representing everyone in Alabama, especially students.
