I r. r e. e r. r arr v v r H O H Student Accuses Horizon of Being informed Ill Dear Editor I believe that in all fairness a rebuttal is in order for any letter to the editor I am for Affirmative Action Action Ac Ac- Action tion and some people arent That is istine istine tine fine with me but when the Horizon comes out with the Horizon View then that is totally inappropriate I Iam Iam Iam am very disappointed with the Horizon again The Horizon says This is an open forum and the Horizon encourages a free speech environment When they took aside aside a aside side on Affirmative Action they turned an open into a forum of hos hos- If someone takes a position against the Horizon then that person would be at risk of publication non-publication or journalistic persecution In their view point they say that Affirmative Action has for the most part been successful If that is so then were did you obtain your information were are the statistical numbers how did you come to that conclusion The Horizon claims that Affirmative Action has quotas No Affirmative Action has no quotas Misinformation tion artists started this tumor rumor a longtime longtime long longtime time ago and everyone believed it They believed it just like the lie that said that many Mexicans are on welfare welfare welfare wel wel- fare both are incorrect The Horizon also states We Ve are all people and should be treated equally and then they say We certainly certainly certainly acknowledge that prejudice and bigotry are alive and well Well if we all should be treated equally but prejudice and bigotry are alive and well then what can we do about it h That's why Affirmative Action was implemented The Horizon states that we should end Affirmative Affirmative Affirm- Affirm Action well they failed to give us a solution to what they call an impe imperfect solution Should we can carry guns to interviews or should we try to do things peacefully like Affirmative Affirmative Affirm Affirm- Action In Jackies Opinion she says that the horizon seeks to cover all relevant issues including minority ones This opinion couldn't be farthest farthest far far- farthest form the truth Out of the Sour Jour issues dealing Hispanics two of them they did on their own The Theother Theother Theother other two dealing with Hispanics and when they do print something it itis itis itis is usually a small paragraph with a distorted picture Many times I have asked if we could write something about latinos and we always get the cold shoulder That is the truth Maybe with this letter Jackies Opinion may become a reality Maybe they might write something about minorities without me having to plead To end this letter I think to end racism we must start with ourselves ourselves ourselves our- our selves before the problem can be solved We Ve are still very far from a color blind society When are seen for who they are instead of what they are then we can think about ending Affirmative Action PS S. S The cartoons are another subject the must be addressed but I am sick and tired of all this that Ill I'll leave it up to someone else Juan Henandez Jr Process Instrumentation Control Major |
