Oh, well, you know, I think you really blew it on that rather sophomoric oped piece of yours that was printed in last week’s edition of Daily 49er. Reading it, what I got from all your tonguein- cheek irony was that no damage to our prestige over the past eight[Read More…]
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor are opeds from outside people that are given to the 49er to run.
Letter to the Editor: Serve black students
Regarding Black History Month, and the “campus values that treasure diversity, tolerance, respect, civility, and support and opportunity for all,” I think it’s worth noting that, despite CSULB touting the diversity of the campus, the school appears on its face to be under-serving the local African American community. Over 9[Read More…]

I never thought I’d defend a man holding up sign saying “homo no more,” yet here I am, a gay man, and that’s what I’m about to do. No, I’m not here to defend the words of hate-filled lunatics who claim to be Christian. I’m here to say we[Read More…]
Letter to the editor: Get rid of concealed weapons on campus
[related title=”Related Stories” stories=”34014″ align=”right” background=”on” border=”all” shadow=”on”] I was disconcerted to read that concealed weapons are permitted in schools, and more so reading Lt. Richard Goodwin’s comment that based on his observation, he did not view “concealed weapons carriers as potential shooters.” Everyone was surprised at the massacres that occurred[Read More…]
Letter to the editor: Bring on the smoking ban
In the article “Our View: CSULB should ban the smoking ban” the Daily 49er staff argued that the ban on tobacco that the university plans to implement next academic year tramples the rights of college smokers.

Letter to the editor: Ban the Abortion Fort
I am writing in response to the opinion article in Monday’s copy of the Daily 49er called, “Ban the abortion fort.” I have just one question: If the pictures are scarring and viewers are uncomfortable, wouldn’t your next thought be “why?” Why the negative reactions? There must be something disturbing[Read More…]
Letter to the editor: In Support of the Genocide Awareness Project
Last week, the Daily 49er printed an article about the Genocide Awareness Project. Contrary to what some believe, the pictures GAP uses are authentic and depict the reality of abortion. If abortion is designed to terminate that life by vacuuming or tearing up the child, what does it look like?[Read More…]
