LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Response to We should get what we pay for

By Benjamin Arnberg | June 2

On behalf of my students, the Glomerata staff, I would like to clarify many points made in your editorial “We Should Get What We Pay For.” I write for my students because you brazenly mischaracterized their work without understanding the issue you raise, at all.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Understand the past, empower the future

By Vincent Harris | April 9

This February, students across the country celebrated Black History Month. They read books by black authors, wrote research papers on civil rights activists, memorized Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech and watched videos about the Underground Railroad. And as they learned about the struggle of the past, many began to recognize it in their own present – when a cashier squints suspiciously when they walk into a store, when they turn on the news and see another person who looks like them lose his life to senseless violence. These lessons are anything but history.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Racism - a festering disease

By Mark Howser | April 9

Racism plays an unfortunate role in our culture today. Just in the past year, America has seen events such as the Ferguson riots, controversy over the Washington Redskins franchise name, drunken fraternity brothers singing obscenities on a bus and many more incidents. It’s time we put an end to an era of racial tension so the nation can move into a new era of cultural prosperity.
