Title IX: Caused more damage than good

defaultuser • April 18, 2007

The following column does not signify an endorsement of Dina Cervantes for president. Rather, the Sundial is giving Ms. Cervantes an open forum to discuss the issues her slate is focusing on.

Dr. Estrada: I write as an individual, at the behest of no one: I represent only myself. You may, or may not, be a fine person in many aspects of your life. I can't know, and I am not offering a blanket attack on your character. However, you have offended my sensibilities deeply.
