Letter: FLAME advertisement was offensive

TO THE EDITOR:

The paid advertisement titled “The Immigrant Question” should not have been included in May 12th’s DTH. I understand that the DTH is a free student-newspaper and that advertisements are an important source of revenue. I also understand that just because you published this ad does not mean that the DTH staff agree with the claims made by FLAME. However, this ad borders on hate speech and should never be included in our student newspaper, as every section of our university should work to create a safe environment for people of every religion, nationality, race, immigration status, gender and age.
