LETTER:Time for Daily to let Skutnik go
February 20, 2002
If the Iowa State Daily dismisses innocent people for appearing in something simple as the Toons then there is something else they need to do. The Daily should go ahead and dismiss Steve Skutnik so he will no longer have a column in the Daily. Since he started writing for the Daily all of his material has been written in an anti-American tone.
His writing is an attempt at convincing Iowa State students to hate their government and to be skeptical of it. All of his columns “have been off the wall” and exaggerate the faults and actions of our leaders. Skutnik’s columns do nothing more than unravel the great patriotism we all have for our nation. He tends to treat our leaders as the enemy rather than the terrorists themselves. Mr. Skutnik needs to be stopped before he abuses his First Amendment right even more.
Please discontinue his column as it is not needed, and since no one wants to read about what he thinks.
