As a faculty member, I was glad to see your indication of support for the principles of our struggle, but disappointed to read in the same Daily 49er editorial, “CSU faculty strike would hurt student body,” (April 24, 2012) your opposition to our strike preparations. Nobody wants to strike, however,[Read More…]

Letter to the Editor: Stolen Valor Act offends nation’s veterans
A week or so ago someone wrote in the opinion section that the Stolen Valor Act should be ruled unconstitutional because it violates the First Amendment. I am assuming that the author of this article either is not in the military or doesn’t have any immediate family in the military[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor

Poor students getting poorer: Is education worth it?
Dear Editor, Based on Obama’s April 2012 budget speech, as Master of Social Work students we believe that the government should be investing in education. Obama discussed investing in “medical research, clean energy technology, new roads, airports, broadband access, education and lastly, job training.” However, it doesn’t appear[Read More…]
Abortion stops a beating heart
Gerry, If abortion is not murder, I’d be curious to know what you would define it as? The death of a “parasite no longer living off a host”, as you put it? You did come out of your mother’s womb, so at what point did you stop being a parasite[Read More…]
