I cannot believe that there are no statutes that require your journalists to have some level of humanity. The “article” written by Lauren Butts entitled “How Sarah at the gas station helped me accept my name” proves the worthlessness of this newspaper. Somehow, I do not think that her parents knew when she was born that she would have a lisp.
I doubt that “God watched over them, laughing hysterically.” It’s one thing to have a conversation of this nature with close friends in the confines of your private place of residence, but it is a completely different issue when it is put on paper and published in the news.
This paper is supposed to have a reputation of excellence. It is supposed to bring truly newsworthy stories to the students and the community of Bowling Green.
I can honestly say, without hesitation, that as long as Ms. Butts continues to work and write for you, and as long as you continue to publish such slanderous articles as this, you will bring nothing but disgrace to the news, journalism program, community and Bowling Green State University. I am one very concerned student who now understands why the BG News gets little respect on this campus.
