Ignorance and apathy often hinder ability to be an empowered citizen

By RoBert Stroud Daily Titan Staff Writer [email protected]

A panel of four CSUF professors was brought together by Frances Teves, director of state relations and advocacy, to discuss contemporary challenges to the Constitution. The panel, made up of two po- litical science professors, Bert Buzan and Scott Spitzer, and two commu- nications professors, Tony Fellow and Genelle Belmas, met to discuss current issues facing censorship, free speech and powers of the presidency. During their discussion, the panel ex- pressed its concern toward the apathy many citizens feel about learning the Constitution. The professors went on to explain why understanding this part of Amer- ican history is essential. In her address to the crowd, Bel- mas explained why the American people need to be actively involved in the political process. After naming a few Supreme Court judges, Belmas expressed her frustra- tion toward the citizens who had no knowledge of these people. “They are, in a sense, ultimately re- sponsible for the enforcement of laws that are good for us ... and the over- turning of laws that unduly abridge our rights as American citizens,” Bel- mas said. Students put the blame on one an- other for not knowing these figures in politics. “I think nowadays students just By Damon CAsarez/For the Daily Titan don’t care to learn [the Constitution],” Professor Tony Fellow, chair of the Cal State Fullerton communications department, Professor of political science Bert Buzan, Assistant Professors Genelle Belmas [communications] and Scott Spitzer [political science].
