CSULB students and members of the Native American community gathered at the USU on Wednesday afternoon to protest an article written by Union Weekly writer, Noah Kelly. The protestors asked ASI to defund the Union Weekly because of Kelly's alleged racist and ignorant remarks in the article, Pow Wow Wow Yippee Yo Yippy Yay.

well i guess even freedom of speech on youtube is not allowed anymore.... I'm not saying that this was ok for the writer and the editors to allow this from going into the paper. Its just that defunding a student paper because of this is a little harsh.
btw i don't know why I am signed into the CRmultimedia account...ignore the affiliation this comes from me.

@CRmultimedia The mistake was intentional mocking of a Culture, nothing more,his only "mistake" was that there are still Native Americans who wont put up with his ignorant ass............look at him now...hes a whipped pup...poor little ting ting.....

@CRmultimedia agreed.
Also, this is a legitimate post. people shouldn't tag it as spam just because they disagree.

So the writer made a mistake, don't defund the paper, this is the point of student newspapers to learn and the paper certainly learned never to allow this type of article from making it in the paper again.
If every newspaper that had something offensive to someone in it was defunded, than we would have no newspapers.
