On behalf of the Lincoln High School Statesman, we apologize for our recent “A letter to the guy who ate the bat” article. The article contained offensive views about Asian and African cultures and did not reflect the views of the Statesman as a whole. As a newspaper, our goal with Perspectives is to publish quality writing that contains accurate evidence regarding the topics that it covers. We understand that “A letter to the guy who ate the bat” did not uphold our standards and have taken it down. We thank you for your feedback on the article.

Sincerely, 

The Statesman editors
