Expel Leda Fisher from Dickinson College

The Issue

On February 7, Leda Fisher wrote a horrifically discriminatory and hate-filled opinion piece in the Dickinsonian stating "white boys" should shut up because their opinion doesn't have a place in the classroom. In the article titled "Should White Boys Be Allowed to Talk," she spewed censorship, bigotry, racism and hatred, helping to further a great divide on campus. While we believe in free speech, Leda's kind of hateful rhetoric doesn't belong at Dickinson College. Dickinson President Margee Ensign wrote in the school's official response "The Dickinsonian is a student-run newspaper that has editorial control over it's content." This strikes me as the easy way out and condoning the behavior. We call foul! Time for Leda to go!
