BISMARCK -- The Herald's editorial apologizing for the incidents occurring on the UND campus affecting Jewish students was admirable ("Good reasons for an apology from UND," Page D1, May 25).
The editorial promised a quick response if more such incidents occur. It cites offensive symbols and the interest of national organizations in seeking an investigation.
I only wish the Herald's editorial board and other leaders would be so quick to condemn the symbols, the accompanying racial incidents and the racist comments of many UND logo supporters, long condemned by national organizations, that so deeply offend and affect American Indian students and families in our state.
Weak leadership, criticized by the editorial, is at fault in both situations, and the editorial makes that fact painfully obvious.
