“I think his heart is in the right place. He’s very sincere in his approach. But he could be doing more tangible things, like issuing an executive order. There’s definitely more work to be done.”

“I’m glad he felt it important enough to include in his State of the Union speech, but he shouldn’t stop there. At the very least, Obama should be going to military bases and talking about [ending] the policy. That’s his job, and he should be fulfilling his duties.”</i> <b>Emilie Fagin<br></b>

“No. Gay and lesbian students attend my school. They’re my friends. And they deserve equal treatment in the military. President Obama needs to meet with military leaders to change the policy. If they don’t agree, he should cut off their funding.”

“No, he’s not doing enough. He must make people aware that times are changing, and we have a diverse population. Whenever President Obama talks about civil rights, he should include [‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’] in his remarks.”</i> <b>Avvionce Wright</b><br>
