First, any opinion expressed by a writer in an individual, signed opinion column, such as the column written by Cole, does not reflect the opinion of The George-Anne, the editorial board, or the staff as a whole. However, an institutional editorial, such as this one, appears in every issue and does reflect the opinion of the editorial board of the newspaper. Second, many have questioned why The George-Anne would print such a controversial opinion. Some have even suggested that by running the column, we automatically endorse the opinion. That is untrue.
