April 25, 2019

Dear Editor, I read ‘Nonla Burger: A Retro Sit-Down with A Modern Twist’ by Abigail Lindblade. I liked the article because it was about food of course. I also liked it because it gave me an idea on a new restaurant to eat at. Lindblade persuaded me to make me want to try this restaurant immediately. Wha...
Letters to the Editor: Students Respond to the Good Boys of Norrix

June 5, 2018
Dear Editor, I have read the article, “The Good Boys of Norrix,” and I am confused as to the purpose of the article. The article was titled, “The Good Boys of Norrix,” but it did not describe anything noticeably “good” about the dogs. The title itself does not imply worth reporting; almost ev...

Dear Editor, I read Knights Speak in the newspaper. I liked how it included everyone’s opinions and didn’t put any bias. I like this because everyone should have a voice here. One thing I didn’t like was nothing. I really liked everything and it was just an all around good paper. Keep doing what...

June 5, 2018
Dear Editor, When reading mental illness in school and the unheard pleas for help I thought the article addressed the more taboo topics most people avoid talking about.

Dear Editor, I liked the article about teachers having and not having guns. I thought it was interesting to see the claims and argument they would have.

Olivia Ely
June 5, 2018
Dear Editor, I read the Knight’s Speak opinions about the walk protest. I really liked the answer choices, because they really captivated the thoughts of those who protested and of who opted-out. I know now that I opt-out for the same reason as others. But now that I read other opinions to protest...

June 12, 2017
Dear Editor, I really enjoyed your piece on the People's Choice Awards. It was a good representation of the concept, and really shows what the awards are all about.

Friendship and Politics Shouldn't Mix
Isaac Rubin
May 31, 2017
“I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend,” said Thomas Jefferson. This quote by Thomas Jefferson is the mindset you need going forward in life. Just because a person disagrees with you politically doesn't make them ...
Letter to the Editor – Nov. 9, 2016
November 9, 2016
Dear Editor, I am proud that all of our varsity football players stand by choice for the National Anthem. I do feel if a person does not stand, it is showing disrespect for our country and the people in the military that have lost their lives and those still serving. I come from a strong military family,...
