Hi, everyone, There is an Op-Ed supporting the metric system in the Northern Star, the student newspaper for Northern Illinois University, written by their film critic, Mr Otto Parker.
The article is here: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnorthernstar.info%2F87709%2Fopinion%2Fopinion-columns%2Fopinion-america-needs-to-get-with-the-metric-system%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C26fd0842448d437aae9508d97fbf72f7%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637681283121487944%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=qhncHu3KC0CMDxBPOtzZBZF4ehfuobb3N%2FoLHVj9biI%3D&reserved=0 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnorthernstar.info%2F87709%2Fopinion%2Fopinion-columns%2Fopinion-america-needs-to-get-with-the-metric-system%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C26fd0842448d437aae9508d97fbf72f7%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637681283121487944%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=qhncHu3KC0CMDxBPOtzZBZF4ehfuobb3N%2FoLHVj9biI%3D&reserved=0> I have posted a link to the article in Reddit’s metric forum and any comments will be here: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FMetric%2Fcomments%2Fpuv78l%2Fopinion_america_needs_to_get_with_the_metric%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C26fd0842448d437aae9508d97fbf72f7%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637681283121487944%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=uhGAFes9AKsYcqmVDdS4zgm%2BAAdfSfsFGq9TMJLLeHI%3D&reserved=0 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FMetric%2Fcomments%2Fpuv78l%2Fopinion_america_needs_to_get_with_the_metric%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C26fd0842448d437aae9508d97fbf72f7%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637681283121487944%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=uhGAFes9AKsYcqmVDdS4zgm%2BAAdfSfsFGq9TMJLLeHI%3D&reserved=0> It’s interesting that we find occasional signs of grass-roots-level support for the metric system, but The Wall Street Journal and Fox News are against it. I would appreciate it if someone from the USMA were to write to Mr Parker at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> to thank him for his support.
