Groups offer no apology for fliers

We co-sponsored the showing of the movie "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," and our organizations' names appeared on the fliers promoting the documentary to which Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, on behalf of the UF administration, responded. Many of you have no doubt read Ms. Telles-Irvin's lengthy e-mail by now. Our response will be shorter.

Texting ban wouldn't be enough

Two Florida lawmakers want to pass a don't-text-and-drive law for minors. I can hardly blame them. After all, who hasn't been scared of the guy with one hand on the wheel and the other on a phone? However, I am not so convinced the bill is a good thing for drivers in the Sunshine State.

Fliers should only offend radical Islams

The recent e-mail from Ms. Telles-Irvin regarding the sensitivity surrounding the use of the phrase "Radical Islam Wants You Dead" paints a dismal yet accurate picture of what ails this campus and country. The only people who should be offended by this phrase are radical Muslims in self-denial.
