The LCHS Opinionator

The Tragic End to Free Speech

     Two years ago there was a hope for a new beginning. A chance for the first amendment to prevail and our founding fathers to have yet another tally added to their prop points. However, since we live in a nation with strict administration and misconstrued regulations at the high school level, those hopes were dashed in early 2003.

            The LCHS Opinionator officially ended on February 15, 2003. The cause of termination was due to the discovery of the website by members of the administration and the proceeding attack on all websites pertaining to Las Cruces High School.

            It was an end of an era: an era of free speech and satirical bitching, a combination of which only The LCHS Opinionator could deliver. But that era has been resurrected because as of today, April 23, 2004, exactly two years since the first page of The LCHS Opinionator was published, it's back up.

            With the explanation of the previous cancellation of the site done with, it's time to look ahead. One month before graduation and it's time to wreak editorial havoc, unless of course no one cares and no articles are submitted.

            Glance through the abbreviated archives (several articles were lost in a tragic power outage). Submit an article to the thelchsopinionator@hotmail.com (possibly no longer in existence, but try it anyway). Catch up on all the corruption at LCHS (until we're shut down by the new administration). And as always, feel free to bitch about our high school.

            I realize that with only four weeks left until we cross the stage and snag our diplomas there may be some bittersweet ideals pertaining to our school. Well, screw that...start dredging up bad memories of how the deans stole your fork at lunch because it was considered a threat. Reminisce about the time you got a violation sticker on your car for no good reason. Think about how many hours you have wasted of your life watching Channel One. Go ahead. Run rampant. And let free speech ring.
