LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BRINGING THE BHM PROGRAM BACK
>> VIEWPOINTS
Angel Tejada’s description for his love for sports and how it influenced his personal relationships is really relatable because as someone who’s a huge soccer fan, it can really bring out all types of emotions and feelings out of you. I can recall quite a couple of games that made me feel some type of way. For instance, Angel Tejada talked about his memories of watching the 2022 Qatar World Cup from the first game to the final when he should be showering or asleep, I had similar moments like that as well I would be watching the 2022 Qatar World Cup during class.

NOWHERE
I find the article to be helpful in informing students about these issues since this is something we’d expect when we get into the restrooms, and the article is easy to understand since it discusses a problem which all of us know about right now. There’s a good amount of text which tells the restroom issue quite well. It’s a bit long, but it’s better than having read certain paragraphs which only tell of the same thing but are written differently. One thing I did want to see was a further look into what kids do in the restrooms, it’s a lot more than vaping or fighting, mainly with kids writing hate speech or strange things on the walls. I wished the author of this article could have given us a better idea on what really happening in these places.

FASHION STATEMENTS // Victoria Garland
I really liked how the author of the article included a bunch of different points of view when it comes to fashion. There were so many different opinions and statements amongst everyone that was interviewed, but they all agreed on the fact that fashion can make a person feel more comfortable by allowing them to express themselves in any way they want. I strongly agree with the article in the sense that fashion is an outlet to demonstrate individuality and I like how there are so many different styles represented in Clarke Central. The author did an excellent job in showing the reader that the representation of so many different fashion tastes at Clarke Central allows for any student to be able to find a group of people that have similar interests to their own.
