Duke College Republicans deserves to lose its charter over the despicable comments individuals made about different races and the LGBTQ community.
However, I do not see Justin Robinette and Cliff Satell as knights in shining armor. These seniors sat silently as derogatory e-mails passed through the hands of DCR members. Only after they were no longer part of DCR did they feel it was a grave injustice.
What did Robinette do about these e-mails when he was president? It is evident that the ill will between Robinette and DCR is being played out on the main stage at the expense of all students involved. If Robinette and Satell actually cared about DCR’s “hostile atmosphere,” changes would have been made long ago. At this point, they are both playing a political game and I, for one, am not fooled.
So if we are holding DCR accountable, Robinette and Satell should be held accountable as well.
