Four Hours of Exposure, Weeks of Controversy

Four Hours of Exposure, Weeks of Controversy
After an anti-Muslim poster outraged GW's campus Monday morning, the story has made its way to the regional newspapers, including the Washington Post. Students and faculty members were quick to condemn the advertisement. The posters, according to many students on campus, were up as early as 6 a.m. but only survived until about 11 a.m. Monday.

Nicole Capp, SA President, was quick to dismiss the posters.

Quoted in the Hatchet, Capp said, "'I made sure the (SA office assistants) went around campus to take down every poster.'"

There is much buzz on campus now about who placed these offensive posters over campus as UPD investigates the incident. But if there is one thing we can all be proud of, it is the solidarity found on campus.

Because the issue was made into a major controversy, students have shown their resilence in preventing hate speech on campus. To our numerous critics, at least we have demonstrated that there is no room for prejudice in Foggy Bottom.
