Blog Assignment 6

While reading the local Kennesaw State University newspaper, the KSU Sentinel. On the website they host many opinion pieces and various editorials ranging on topics from gun rights to political civility. One particular editorial was about LGBT rights and the new "religious freedom" bill that was voted on in the state senate. In the bill, the law is made clear for discrimination on religious grounds so that way privately held businesses of the devout can deny service to people based on things out of their control, such a skin color, sexual orientation and religious beliefs. While the article had a clear bias again the bill, it must really be asked if such an issue really has two legitimate sides. After all, social justice is about doing the right thing, not the comfortable thing. Another article was about gun rights on campus. While opponents of gun rights have talked about how having guns on campus makes some people feel uncomfortable, other people suggest it's a safety issue. Leaving people defenseless in the face of criminals shouldn't be done, gun advocates complain. Ultimately this article was pro-gun but somewhat balanced as well.
