Dear Editor, I am writing to express my disagreement with last issue’s article, “Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right.” I believe that opposite to the writer’s opinion, that it is our civil duty as citizens of the United States to make our voices heard when we disagree with the government. If we all remain silent in the face of injustice, then the values we oppose will only grow more prominent. Thus, in my view, this article misrepresents American democracy. My question to the Panther Post and the author of this article is: What are other means, other than demonstration, to voice our disappointment in the government?

A vital part of The Panther Post is our extensive opinion section, which includes both the Editorial Board’s opinions, as well as op-eds written by the student body. But these pieces should not be the end of the conversation; instead, they should catalyze a productive conversation about issues important to our community. So we want to hear your opinions. Let us know how you feel about the articles you read––whether you agree, disagree, or have a relevant comment.

Letters to the Editor are essential parts of all newspapers, and ours should be no different. We asked that you send your brief reactions (an edited 150 words) to [email protected] so that we and all of our readers can hear our community’s diverse opinions.

We will feature the most eloquent, pertinent letters on the homepage of the website.
