Letter to the Editor
Real problem with festival reverse racism, liberalism

Yesterday I found the front page of The Daily Collegian quite interesting as most probably did. I found great pride in the fact that it was Jeffrey Budney who brought the problem of Cuntfest to a higher level.

I heard first hand counts of people who attended this event and in my opinion it was the greatest waste of student funds ever for this campus.

The underlying problem is not shown in the article, unfortunately. The real problem is that Penn State, especially its administration, condones acts known as reverse racism and political liberalism. Unfortunately at this campus I am not considered an individual but a white male student that receives no special status known to other races and genders.

I have almost six nationalities in my heritage yet this campus in two words groups me: white and male.

To me, this is racist and unfair; my friends respect my individuality but this school cannot.

The other major issue is that Penn State endorses and practically shoves liberalism in all its forms down student's throats, What has been forgotten is that in America we are tolerant, but not necessarily accepting.

I think it is about time that Penn State stops grouping students into race groups which incites a problem already in existence and truly diversify it's academics and activities to encompass more than just one single idealism.
