Letter to the Editor 1, 9/18/08

Dear Editor, I read the column ‘Palin best female VP candidate from Alaska’ by Giles Howard,… Dear Editor, I read the column ‘Palin best female VP candidate from Alaska’ by Giles Howard, and a comment he made is untrue. ‘Nothing says spiritual like attempting to remove books from libraries that teach children that homosexuals are people, or supporting the teaching of creationism in schools because one shouldn’t be afraid of information.’ ‘ I suggest he do some research before making statements such as these. The Pitt News is a widely circulated newspaper in Pittsburgh, and a number of your readers were misinformed by today’s edition. I picked up his motive for writing the article, but this statement that he wrote was written as a fact, when it actually isn’t one. It’s one thing to draw people away from a candidate because of the truth, but it’s completely immoral to do it through lies. Anna Mercurio College of Business Administration
