Editor,
I am writing in response to Jake Chalet’s letter on March 8.
Jake Chalet did not write the letter, but instead did a “copy and paste” from a person known as David Bedein.
I do not know if this counts as plagiarism. I do know that there is freedom of speech on this campus. People such as Chalet are free to continue in their attempts to dehumanize the “other side.” However, no one will take anything these dehumanizers say seriously if they are incapable of coming up with an original thought, and instead rely on copying and pasting.

This letter could’ve been much, much harsher…..

Seriously the guy freakin plagiarized and your giving him a watered-down slap on the wrist?

The thoughts may indeed not be original to the writer. Factual information rarely is. Whatever Jake’s writing style leaves to be desired, though, it’s hard to dispute the actual content. His (or someone’s) points deserve to be well-known throughout our culture, lest we give too much credit where it is certainly not due.
