An apology to our readers
Dear Aragon community, The Aragon Outlook published several offensive graphics in its satirical centerspread. After receiving comments and taking the time to reflect, we realized we should not have run them. We are sorry that the damaging content reached any audience. One graphic attempted to satirize students who believe procrastination and poor time management is comparable to a learning disability. Instead, it missed its mark, and the poster compared students with IEP and 504 plans to lazy students, which is not true. We apologize for the harm this graphic has caused. We do not mean to minimize any barriers that students face to maintaining good grades or participating in classes, especially with the added challenges of remote schooling and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Socratic seminar rotation graphic, which displayed a modified version of Da Vinci's Last Supper painting, was also insensitive. Replacing the faces of Jesus and his Apostles with pop culture icons was inappropriate
