Letter to the Editor: Moor Feedback

Dear Editors,

I’m writing this letter concerning the news article about the spring elections controversy. My name is Andrew Torres, and I am a Latino student in my junior year. I was one of the students who ran during the spring elections. For clarification, “United Through Our Diversity” was a shared slogan that appeared on our posters, not the name of our group. The point of the slogan was to show that Executive should be diverse. There’s nothing wrong with our current student government, but a more diverse government would show a more united school and represent more of the student body. We never wanted to cause conflict or controversy; we just wanted to run for a student government position with equal opportunities. During the campaign, many issues arose such as illegal campaigning and help from teachers. We should try to get facts and opinions from both sides. Even though this caused conflict, I believe there

was one achievement all candidates accomplished, and that was more than tripling the number of average voters. As this controversy continues, I hope our school can resolve our differences and become more united. The newspaper shouldn’t stop running this story because it is a big part of our school. I’d like to see more facts from people directly involved in the elections.

Sincerely,

Andrew Torres
