I would like to officially and publicly retract and renounce my letter attacking the Government of the Student Body as hostile toward any group. It was wrong, hasty and inappropriate to target an entire body. I specifically retract the statement where I claimed that GSB is hostile to those who hold conservative values. They do not in fact.

I would also like to clarify comments that I made in a letter this past August responding to a letter in regards to the Family Leader Summit. While I strongly believe that any conservative organization has to the right to assemble without being falsely attacked as being a “hate group,” I was wrong for using the terms “Nazi and Gay Mafia!” I sincerely apologize and retract both sentiments. I wanted to convey that the author was trying to use the word “hate” as a way to silence debate. Tolerance goes both ways and it is hypocritical to call for tolerance and respect for the LGBT community, yet demand those you disagree with, i.e. opponents of same sex marriage, to shut up and call them a hate group just for the fact that they have a different opinion than yours.
