Letter: Response to Therin Showalter
Apr 12, 2016 10:17 pmDear Therin, I read the article, “Modern American Christians ...,” and appreciated the challenge to show equal concern for all sin, not just sexual sin.
Dear Therin, I read the article, “Modern American Christians ...,” and appreciated the challenge to show equal concern for all sin, not just sexual sin.
I’ve recently learned about a bill that is waiting to be passed senate bill 35. I don’t think that anyone should support it because it is simply ridiculous to monitor the restroom use of others. This bill states that it would prevent transgender from using the same restroom as the one they identify with.
Most of us are familiar with the Jared Fogle case involving child exploitation and child pornography.
With the passing of HB 1337 in the Indiana Senate, our favorite governor has proven that Indiana is not pro-women.
As a young Christian seeking to define my identity, I have never identified myself as an LGBT activists. I have, however; identified myself as one that rejects mistreatment, injustice, and hate.
Or perhaps let’s talk about rape, because well, they are different. Since it is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and colleges across the country are attempting to exude a Culture of Care, I want to weigh in on the topic.
I really need to know why Indiana legislators are so worried about who poops next to who? With everything else going on in our world, like perhaps the fact that Donald Trump may become president, I feel like who we poop beside does not need to be regulated. It is sad that I now feel very fortunate to have always been given the opportunity to use the restroom that I identify with, without any threat of facing charges for my choice.
The right to vote is held sacred in America, even for those who do not vote themselves. In many states that right can be taken away with a prison sentence for any crime that gives a felony.
On Monday, March 28th, I got to meet a young lady driving a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. She drove thru a stop sign at 11th and Woodlawn and hit me. I was driving a Kubota, you’ve seen the orange vehicles driving all over campus. Mine had lights on and a yellow strobe light on the roof, and has a max speed of 18 mph. She hit me in the right front wheel and passenger door, pushing me into the oncoming lane, over the curb and stopping 25 feet away on the sidewalk. It could have been much worse; I could have been flipped, pushed into oncoming traffic or hit a pedestrian standing on the sidewalk. I’m lucky, just bruised and very sore. I have no idea why she did not see me, what she was doing or why she didn’t simply stop at the sign that has been there for years. She said she was going to class, and since we are creatures of habit, she has probably been that way before. My point for all of this is that every day I see students, staff and faculty trying to do too many things at once. Headphones, earbuds and cell phones are a major problem. No one pays any attention to their surroundings or safety. People walk down the middle of streets instead of being on the sidewalk two feet to the left.
I must admit, I am 35 years old and have never voted. I have always believed the system is corrupt, my one vote does not count, and that nothing will change.
Reading your editorial “You Do The Math This Season” I had to remind myself that it was April 1.
Bloomington’s Farmer’s Market is a place to buy local food grown by local farmers. Yes, there are special guests but this should not be the focus of this event and this is why I am responding today.
The easygoing tone of this article may be misleading to students.
Early voting in Bloomington has begun. In the coming weeks and in the primary election on Tuesday, May 3, I hope my fellow Monroe County residents will vote for Darcie Fawcett for Monroe County Circuit Court Judge, Seat 1.
In light of the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels and Pakistan, I can’t help but notice all the chaos, and more importantly hatred, that seems to be running rampant through the veins of our troubled society.
As a career advisor at IU, I can verify that when it comes to hiring, experience matters. We coach students to prepare for the jobs they want through academic pursuits and relevant hands-on experiences.

Early Sunday morning, three suspects were seen spray painting vulgar images and racist references on the wall of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) in Plainfield, Indiana.
I am dismayed and perplexed at the lack of interest you have given to the incredible philanthropy event that Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity hosted on February 24, 2016, Ball at the Hall. For the last few months you have reported on the negative developments concerning Sigma Alpha Mu.
