Letter to the Editor
Discrimination comments show Republican beliefs

Once again, the College Republicans have amazed me with their flagrant hypocrisy. In a statement published in
The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Vicky Cangelosi stated that "Discrimination is discrimination," in reference to the supposed liberal bias in classroom settings ("UCLA alum offers money for proof of bias," Feb. 1).

However, isn't Cangelosi's political group affiliated with the party that believes in discrimination only when the Constitution explicitly spells it out? Indeed, she is. So who is she to talk about discrimination? United States Senate Republicans from every state scramble to ensure that discrimination policies remain etched in stone and do not expand to meet the times. But of all the discrimination debates, political discourse in an academic environment is not a form of discrimination.

Perhaps if the College Republicans had something remotely articulate to say in these classes, there could be real debate instead of this incessant whining. The College Republicans need to come back into reality where there is separation between what is actually discrimination and what is just a persecution complex.
