Student pens eloquent open letter to USC regarding removal of pro-life banners
USC recently removed pro-life banners showing fetuses in utero from several lightposts on campus. The banners had been hung Tuesday morning, and were taken down Tuesday afternoon, with campus officials calling the initial installation an “error.”
“The banners did not identify an academic event but instead advertised the services of an external organization,” which runs afoul of university policy, officials stated. And yet students did not buy that explanation, as they have seen other banners promoting other causes hung from their campus lightposts as well.
The pro-life community at USC has since expressed heartache over the decision, and many of their peers – even those who are not card-carrying members of USC Students for Life – are on their side.
One such student is Remaya Campbell, a freshman who has written an open letter to administrators about their recent decision. Campbell, who is involved in many campus groups – the Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics, the Harman Academy for Polymathic Study, the Daily Trojan, Thematic Option, the Trojan Scholar Society – tells The College Fix “this issue is particularly relevant to me as a freshman Film Production major in the School of Cinematic Arts-a famously liberal environment.”
“Having only just arrived at USC some eight months ago, I find this incident of selective censorship and others I’ve witnessed on campus to be particularly disheartening,” she said.
