Letters to the Editor - Cartoon trivializes worldwide tragedy
Description
Monday, April 23, 2007
I am offended and embarrassed by the editorial cartoon featured on April 18 concerning the shootings at Virginia Tech.
It is insulting and irresponsible to poke fun at such a tragic event that has affected college students worldwide and many UCLA students personally.
If the intent was to help students laugh away their anxieties, it failed. Furthermore, to relate the tragedy at Virginia Tech with current events in the Middle East is preposterous.
As an enthusiastic reader of the Daily Bruin, I ask that in the future your cartoons be more sensitive.
