September 15th 2007 Racism shows its ugly head at CCSU - The Recorder again shows intolerance

The Recorder once again has shown its lack of discretion in its editorial review process. They ran a comic strip in the last issue that had a character relating to urinating on and tying up a 14 year old hispanic girl and holding her in the closet. Below are some links to related content. Contact me directly if you are interested in getting involved with any actions in regards to this issue wes06424@speedpost.net

February 2007-CCSU Recorder Advocates Rape

I am sure many of you are aware of the recent aggregious and offensive publishings in the Recorder. In a way to save space I am going to post all the links to articles below along with thier article titles and where they were published. Please feel free to Contact us about this at our Email. Below is a bit taken from the Courant Article on the situation:

"The editors of the Recorder, in another statement released Thursday, said they regretted the harm the article caused, adding they would not have published it if they had realized how people would react to it. Yet at they same time, the statement defended Petroski as a gifted satirist whose intended message 'fell on deaf ears'."
