Some great blogs from my students

This last week my blogging and commentary student Austin Koeller wrote a state editorial I was pretty happy with.  He argued that U.S. Senator Deb Fischer was betraying her conservative supporters in north central Nebraska by supporting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.  Austin argued not that the pipeline itself was bad, but rather that it was wrong for a conservative senator to support the state helping a foreign oil company take land for the pipelines construction through the use of eminent domain. His editorial got shared by the progressive activist group Bold Nebraska, and the link to his posting of it has now been shared on Facebook more than 1,000 times.  That’s how you know your writing has struck a nerve.

But Austin isn’t the only student in my class doing some interesting writing.  Here are links to several recent blog posts worth your time from my class:

And finally, this isn’t from my class, but what a great editorial from the Frederick News-Post on “Kirby Delauter.
