In response to the Aggie Assurance mail call on Feb. 19:
I think Mr. Cunningham is entirely correct. By allowing immoral acts such as attempting to educate people, we are just condoning other immoral acts such as stopping to help someone fix a flat tire, giving a lost visitor directions, and greeting people you don't know around campus. Making education more accessible! What ridiculous filth! Mr. Cunningham and I have earned everything that we have ever gotten. Forget that as upper-middle-class white males we are the power majority and have never really had to face any sort of discrimination from friends, family, employers or educators. Forget that being born to middle-class white parents gave us social advantages such as our parents being able to afford to send us to a private school instead of attending a public school. In fact, forget that the entire social structure of the society we live in is designed to give us, the educated upper-middle-class white male, every chance of success and every privilege, and instead focus on the fact that for the first time in our lives something is beneficial to someone besides ourselves, and that makes it morally wrong. Besides, if they really wanted in, they would just work a little harder.
