As many of you may have seen, I wrote a very angry editorial in the last edition of the Activist. I got a couple of emails that opened my eyes to a statement I probably shouldn’t have put into print. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the statement “the more people who hate this group, the better in my mind.” To those who have read my article, please keep in mind that it was written out of pure anger, and I didn’t really consider the ethics of that statement. I was caught up in the emotions these people provoke. However, that is the ONLY statement that I will apologize for.
The Westboro Baptist church does a great job of dehumanizing themselves with their disturbing website, which is where I gained most of my information. It was painful to do the research. Having said that, I would also like to remind everyone, this was “My World,” which is an editorial and was in no way news commentary. I wanted to give background information along with my rant, which is why I performed the research.
Thank you all for reading and taking an interest!
