Why TVU handling is an insult to a civilized nation
Originally posted by Rajiv S. KhannaI have read some of the posts Joe has made. He has his view point, which reflects the view point of authorities. In a civilized society, NO ONE must be condemned without a fair assessment. That includes Joe and all TVU students. I must decline to remove his posts even if they offend our sense of fairness. I suggest , if you do not like them, you folks ignore his posts. I find it important to consider his thoughts because they reflect the same unfair bias that the authorities have. The point, my friends, is not who is guilty.
