The George Washington University student paper issued an apology on Saturday for an “insensitive” and “harmful” question during a pre-election College Republicans-vs.-College Democrats debate.
The Hatchet Editor-in-Chief Jarrod Wardwell noted he had met with the debate moderators — all Hatchet staff — for about three hours the day before the November 2 debate to “review and edit their questions.”
Wardwell had suggested a question about how the GOP has “supported restrictions against transgender athletes in women’s sports.”
“We planned for the question to hold one side accountable for these restrictions that many have denounced as discriminatory on the basis of gender identity,” Wardwell wrote.
