Dear President Machen,
I am sure that as a University President you are well aware of the
sacred need to protect students' rights and their need to inquire.
The horrible taser attack on a UF student for simply asking an
important question of an important national figure is a slam against
common decency, common sense and the common quest for knowledge.
If the University does not take an active role in eliminating the use
of tasers on its students, it will have aligned itself with the dark
and evil forces that gave us Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and Kent State.
If the University can't get the "duh-h-h" out of Florida, who can?
Please take an active, positive role in fixing this fascistic turmoil.
Sincerely,
Dan Scanlan
