To the editor:

The recent news article “Anti-abortion table tents cause commotion” is disturbing.

It will be a sad day on any public, land-grant university campus when registered campus organizations (like YAF) are unable to utilize the same outlets that other organizations are able to use simply because of their “controversial” message.

Regardless of the tent’s message, college is the time when we should be thirsting for more information on anything and everything.

Without clubs like YAF, LBTGAA or the September 29th movement, we would miss out on an opportunity to develop thoughts, ideas and opinions on the world around us and mature as individuals in every aspect of our lives.

Isn’t this an essential part of the entire university experience?

It troubles me that one person in Food Service could decide for me whether I’m going to find out about an activity on campus, the platform of a candidate for office or the beliefs of any organization in the university.

It does not matter what the group stands for; I still have the right to know.

I may not personally agree with a particular message, but at least I’ve had the opportunity to be faced with the information and develop my opinion from there.

Every group on this campus should be celebrated and appreciated for the hard work that they do in making this university as unique and special as it is.

Let’s keep it that way.
