Hostility is predictably directed towards TKS by those who have done something to make themselves look like an ass on such a scale as to be reported upon by the Knox campus newspaper.  Though periodically mired in controversies, the worst thing reasonable and disinterested observers can say is that they try to stuff two weeks worth of news into a weekly paper, complain about lack of journalistic standards despite their own lack of education in regards to journalism, and their paper is rife with spelling and grammatical errors.

The best way to deal with this problem would be to join TKS and throw your two cents in. Help the reformation. You can do it. We believe in you. You have enough dedication to type in the URL for this site and click on this page. You also have the dedication to improve TKS.
