People should diversify their conversations
Dear Editor,
In response to Mr. C. Derick Varn’s letter to the editor in the Nov. 4 edition, to grovel is “to act in a servile way, showing exaggerated and false respect in order to please somebody or out of fear.”
I beg to differ, I did not grovel. I did but merely ask a question to bring on debate. It amazed me how many “liberals” acted in a defensive manner to my first letter. By the way, as it was my question, why do you expect me to answer it? It’s your job to answer the query, not to attack the questioner.
In response to your query, “What is being taught here?” All the students and teachers I have spoken to live the politically correct course of life. This will keep you agreeing with the conformity of your group. What ever you do, don’t make waves. Just agree with every one you always talk to. You should spend time speaking with people that hold a divergent, or even opposite point of view. The discussion of diverse views is what university should be about.
Protestant, Christian? If I am a Jew, Hindu, Moslem, atheist, how would I fit into your Protestant, Christian world, or am I to change to fit your view of humanity and its needs?
Besides, as I said before, it was my question. Are you going to answer it, or just use more sophistry and rhetoric to twist words and meanings about? If this is the case, you should be taking poly-sci and become a spin doctor.
