Letter to the Editor

Jen Hughes

Editor,
I am a faculty member of MCC and I am writing to complain about your copy of the Mesa Legend Volume 47, Issue 7.
You have a cover about a porn star who is a student at MCC and I cannot even begin to describe the problems that are with this issue.
One, it is smut and disgusting. Two, it demeans women and shows women as sex objects.
Three, it is a negative representation of young females in their 20s.
Four, it puts female college students in a negative light.
Five, it makes MCC look disgusting.
Six, it is humiliating for faculty, staff, and students.
Is this only student profile you could think of writing about????
What about college students who are also…single, working mothers, or international students?
Student athletes, students with scholarships, students overcoming obstacles, students with learning disabilities, or female students who are strong representatives of MCC.
Where were these ideas in your newsroom?
I’m contacting the president of MCC today and will do what I have to do to never see this smut again circulating on MCC campus.Jen Hughes
