I was deeply disturbed after reading the article “SAFER takes new maid service to the cleaners.” I’m a big fan of our Bill of Rights, especially the first amendment. It saddens me to see that SAFER has appointed themselves as the governing body of censorship here at Cal Poly. The members of SAFER self-righteously “found, removed and shredded (the posters)” simply because they did not agree with the service being advertised.
I agree that SAFER has every right to be appalled by the idea of a lingerie maid service, and should be allowed to publicly voice this opinion, but they seem to be forgetting that the College Cleaners has just as much of a right to advertise their services. SAFER should have taken a different method of protest, because childish acts like this only make me lose respect for their organization.
