Perspectives: Racist Cartoon Art Imitates Life
Last week The Recorder, a non-official student newspaper distributed at Central Connecticut State College, ran an explicitly sexual cartoon about urinating on a 14-year-old Latina being held prisoner that set a new level for campus racism and sexism.

It’s laughable how much scrutiny student newspapers receive these days. As soon as something questionable is printed, the liberal socialists are calling for the student editor and contributors to be fired. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Is it only a constitutional right only valid when left-wingers agree with it? By making a big deal out of these rare instances you are giving the aspiring cartoonists and pundits exactly what they want, national exposure. If poor taste were a crime, our police officers would spend their entire day ticketing people who wear socks with sandals.
