...article of February 9, entitled "Color-Blind Populism," J. Wyatt Emmerich seems to applaud everything Mississippi Governor Cliff Finch has done, and sees him as some sort of redeemer for the state. According to him, Finch has wiped out racism and become the hero of the people.

While honoring your editorial privilege, I wonder whether your waters are polluted with a bias that excludes many significant issues while distoring students perceptions and understandings of events.
