Letter to the editor
Valentine’s Day editorial offensive, not appropriate in paper

I just wanted to write and say that I’ll never hold the Skiff in high regard again because of the offensive Valentine’s Day editorial by your managing editor Laura Head.

The editorial was bitter, rude and vulgar. Sure, it was her opinion and she’s entitled to it. But she offended me deeply by bashing a simple holiday that ironically is all about love and compassion. There are better ways she could have established her point, and next time I hope she employs them. I, personally, plan on not reading another of her articles.

This is a higher education institution, one where great minds are formed. Do you really want to degrade our university by printing this filth? The most offensive line was this:

“This holiday, brought to you by Hallmark and the people who gave us decorated paper to wipe our asses with, is nothing more than a commercialized day of making out.”

Are we no better than to print articles by people with mouths in the gutter? Is this the way that Head will write once she is out in the real world? If so, I am sorry for all the people who will be subjected to reading such trash. I do know one thing, I will not be one of them.

A disgruntled ex-Skiff reader,
