As mentioned in several of our articles and editorial statements, the Counter Point is partly a direct challenge to the Cooper Point Journal’s lack of reporting on Evergreens administration in a responsible way.
However, it turns out the Counter Point Collective was not the first group of students that has noticed a resonance between the Cooper Point Journal and our ever diligent administrators. A trip to the archives turns up three alternative student papers, The Crapper Point Journal, The Evergreen Free Press, and The Paper, that were sparked, at least partly in response to the CPJ.

question: Then what’s the real issue concerning Gay teachers?

answer: The real issue here is discrimination. Will Gay teachers be judged as individuals, or by stereotypes? And what about Gay people as bus drivers, candystore clerks, and so forth? In the final analysis, a person who does a good job should not be denied his or her job or vocation because of some irrelevant criteria in his or her private life.
