Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The Student Senate cut the Women's Center $200 of work-study funds in Tuesday night's Senate meeting. Donnie Oakes, vice-president of the student government said, "There is some movement suggesting that no clubs receive work-study funding. The argument is that is not a practice to get into. The people against it feel that if a club has voluntary membership, they should do the duties and not a work-study student."

I was shocked when I read the article "Pink Jeans," in Wednesday's paper. I am referring to the emotions expressed by John Sandblom when he wrote he would like to punch every gay, throw up on them and that they just aren't any good anyway.

There's nothing obscene about naked human beings, but the comment I have regarding Church's photographer exhibit is that is stereotypically … of the naked female body.

In Wednesday's issue of the Campus, two letters to the editor viciously attacked gays in general and the Wilde-Stein club in particular. The scurrilous tone of the letters is regrettable, and only illustrates the authors' deplorable lack of tolerance.

The response letters printed about the controversial issue of homosexuality where certainly enlightening, not about the campus gay population, but about the "normals" self-righteousness and discrimination.

If ignoring was bliss there would be many happy people at UMO. The reaction by many students to the upcoming Jeans Day shows the ignorance on the subject. People are complaining that the day will infringe on their rights and how it will cause them distress should they wear jeans and be mistaken for a homosexual.

Gender equality does not exist and it may never exist. To get a few things straight before the "Letters To the Editor" start pouring in, I am not sexist and I do not look down upon women or, for that matter, men. As I see it, we are equal. Despite some minor physical technicalities, men and women are essentially the same.
