In response to Josh Lucas’s column, End the free expression

The recent article in Technician about ending the Free Expression Tunnel was very surprising to me, and not only did the story seem a bit off-kilter, but also nearly baseless. I was intrigued by the author and sought out his other articles on your website. Wow.

I’m not sure if he thinks he’s funny, but to begin an article by suggesting we lump people in groups is certainly outrageous, as he did in the bros and hipsters article. Based off his work, it appears his primary goal as a writer for Technician is taking away expression rights and creating stereotypes, which I feel reflects poorly on a paper that I generally enjoy.

I feel as if Technician could make wiser decisions about what it publishes, because not only does it reflect poorly on their staff but also on the students and faculty of N.C . State. Of course I understand you aim to create an open dialogue , however editorial oversight is still a prime necessity.
