The right to opine transcends beliefs

The neo-Nazi rally at the Capitol Aug. 26 displayed an extreme example of the group's First Amendment rights. Events like this remind us of the importance to maintain the right to freedom of speech even when we decry the message. All opinions deserve to be heard no matter how unpopular they may be. The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board, comprised of staff members with ranging political persuasions, will present stances on salient issues every day on the opinion page. The board will strive to present opinions to its readership without fear or favor. Since political debate is a fixture on campus it may just be the case that one day you find yourself on the unpopular side of an issue. In accordance with the UW Regents, this board will boldly engage in the ""sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.""
