I have cancelled my subscription to the Centre Daily Times. I will not contribute to the production of hate propaganda in our community. The Lionhearted does not support free speech. At the demonstration press conference on Saturday, Lionhearted staff shouted long and loud to block the free speech of others. As Rebecca Bennett explained in her important CDT column April 25, free speech belongs to those who can buy it, and to bullies.

Fortunately, we have spirited and positive community members who have proposed concrete actions that the University can take to conteract the effects of hate propaganda. Womyn's Concerns, a student group, and the group Concerned Faculty and Staff for the Protection and Promotion of Women at Penn State, have formulated a set of proposals that will result in a climate for young women and men of respectful and appreciative learning and a place for women's work to prosper.

This opportunity for constructive change is precious. If we fail to respond, then women students, their parents, staff and faculty can expect more humiliation, as in The Lionhearted's full-page cartoon of a woman Collegian writer in a skimpy bikini, sitting on a bed (her writing had nothing to do with swimming or sleeping).
