UF President Bernie Machen is in no way obligated to keep his politics to himself.
What the students and faculty of Florida should question, however, is his endorsement of a candidate who advocates teaching creationism in public schools, encourages a continuing war in Iraq, considers singing "Bomb Iran" at a campaign stop witty, is rated low for his support of civil rights by the NAACP, votes against protecting homosexuals from discrimination and supports a state ban on gay marriage. Considering his endorsement of these positions, it is the judgment, wisdom and integrity of your college president that should be questioned.
