Letter to the editor: Volante marginalizing campus conservatives

The Volante has proudly been the “students’ voice since 1887” here on the campus of USD.

However, there is a large group of students whose voice isn’t heard on campus and that is anyone with conservative beliefs.

The front page article concerning Donald Trump is disgraceful. The title of ‘Questioning Hillary’ or ‘Questioning Bernie’ would be shot down almost instantly in the editors meetings I guarantee.

The opinion page in The Volante reads like the front page of Mother Jones. Writers Allie Knofczynski and Jacob Selgestad are given free rein to expound their progressive ideas while there isn’t a staff writer I’ve seen to give a conservative opinion on world and campus issues.

It’s time for The Volante to recognize its own liberal bias and make sure all students opinions are heard and respected.

– Kade Lamberty, vice president of USD College Republicans
