Last Wednesday, I donated two hours of my time to poster for a Wesleyan organization I am involved in. On a campus that embraces diversity and expression, I expected the poster to elucidate interest in our organization and potential new members or even indifference, but certainly not animosity or juvenile sabotage. The numerous College of Social Sciences (CSS) posters that my colleagues and I put up have been ripped down or defaced. The meager two hours I wasted is not my gripe. Neither is the incalculable effort and time all of the CSS devoted to those posters. What bothers me is the rampant hypocrisy that pervades this campus; students appalled and outraged at a chalking moratorium—to them, a moratorium on freedom of expression—dare censure fellow students.
By the way, since all of our posters were torn down, a meeting for interested frosh is today, February 17th, at 7:30 pm in the CSS Lounge (4th Floor, PAC).
