In each issue we try to challenge how people think. Especially in our opinions section, we try to think outside the box and see things in a different way. As a student run publication we try to express the diversity of our campus including through our opinions. Sometimes the ideas we have aren’t crowd pleasers, but we reserve the right to run them.

For instance, some people disagreed with last issue’s editorial cartoon and others mistakenly thought the cartoon illustrated the editorial. It’s important to note they are separate entities of each other. Although misleadingly placed next to each other, the cartoon had nothing to do with the editorial.

The space given to artists for the editorial cartoon is theirs to use for the way they feel about a topic of their choosing. It’s similar to how we run our opinions articles. If we stopped our staff from having the freedom to write or draw what they want, we would be running a very bland opinions section.

The great thing about readers disagreeing with the writer or artist is that the new information can expand the reader’s horizons. The reader is now aware of a totally new thought process they weren’t privy to before. If you find yourself disagreeing with one of our opinions there might be room for you to research the topic.

If you strongly oppose a stand one of our writers or artists chooses to make, write us a letter. Our paper is your space to express yourself. If you write to us we have the right to edit for length, libel, clarity and taste.

The Skyline View is as much your voice as is it ours. We encourage responses to our work because it helps our campus community grow as we educate each other.
