Editorial critiques of KU seal as religious symbol
A Kansas editorial questions the university seal depicting Moses and the burning bush and the ACLU’s challenge to its constitutionality. It argues the seal serves as school spirit rather than church endorsement and mocks prior campus disputes over religious displays.

East Timor and the American Moral Compass
Don Kaul argues that U.S. foreign policy serves corporate interests by supporting dictators and arming repression from Cuba to East Timor. He links Kissinger's inaction to Indonesian aggression, criticizes Albright’s sanctions stance, and condemns a profit-driven media monopolization under CBS Viacom, concluding with a sharp punch about a justice system that tolerates lies. He cites the Cisneros case as further proof of “business as usual.”

Creation Only to Be Taught to Our Children
Reader Forum argues that evolution erodes faith and morality, listing ten implications from teaching evolution and naming historical scientists who allegedly supported creation. It claims Genesis chapters 1-11 are literal, warns against abortion and euthanasia, condemns secular humanism, and urges creationist instruction aligned with prominent scientists cited, proposing no compromise in science education.
