Letters to the editor

August 24, 2008

Reading Time: < 1 minute The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsoring competitive institutions (BYU) is as consistent as when our new country allowed slavery after 1776. With slavery, a race was heartlessly beaten down; with competition, the weak and simple are heartlessly beaten down. Both slavery and competition were and are tolerated to “get gain.” In this way, BYU is in the world and of the world.
BYU’s mascot should be a lamb. To the competitor, I say pride rules your will. Competitor or champion — which are you?
