Recently, the Talon Marks published an editorial stating the concerns we had with the effectiveness of the student body President Jason Macias and Vice President Michael Barrita.
They had campaigned on three major issues that are establishing a recycling program, having healthier food choices for students and textbook rental/exchange.
None of these, however, have come to fruition and the editorial was written because of that reason and that reason only.
As reporters, we have a responsibility to serve as public watchdogs over all government agencies.
And as citizens of Cerritos College, we have a right to voice our displeasure with the government.
If we did not write this editorial about our concerns, we would be letting our readers, who depend on the press to let them know when issues either good or bad surface.
At a recent ASCC Senate meeting, Macias and Barrita demanded a public apology and this will never happen.
I will not apologize for an opinion, because after all that is what an editorial is and I will never apologize for the truth.
Furthermore, I am the one who is responsible for the content of the Talon Marks, not my editors and not my writers, and will never ask my staff members to apologize for my actions.
