Letter: The DTH should not delete comments

TO THE EDITOR:

I am very disappointed in the way comments are received by the dailytarheel.com. It was brought to my attention that comments that you don’t care for or disagree with are barred from being posted, As an institution of higher learning I would think a variety of opinions would/should be valued. How can anyone learn anything if only like opinions are allowed?

Perhaps you need to remember that a university, especially one as fine as yours, should function as a “think-tank.” I was very proud of my cousin when he was accepted to your school on scholarship. Now I wonder if he made a good choice, after all, and if I should value the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as I have. As an educator myself, I find intolerance for opposing opinions completely unacceptable.
