Insert's printing displays paper's poor judgment

Publication Date: 03/27/2008

Dear Exponent,

I'm extremely disappointed in you. In the Tuesday edition of your paper you chose to include an ad by the "human life alliance" which spread propaganda and blatant lies across Purdue campus. The fact that you allowed such rubbish to be circulated with your fine newspaper is a disgrace. I hope the ad was quite valuable monetarily because I suspect it will cost you greatly in terms of angry readers. It's one thing for there to be articles and opinions given by the Pro-Abortion and Anti-Abortion groups, as both sides have some valid arguments.

However, the material in that ad twisted words, ignored facts and testimonies and ludicrously spoke out against birth control. Please, Exponent, for the sake of all of us Boilermakers can you at least read over material before you print it?
