As a Catholic, I found the picture (EW 10-22) depicting a horrified nun from a fictional movie to be very offensive. It was very insensitive, and although EW did not make the movie, it promoted disrespect for a religion and borders on the edge of being a hate crime. EW and Johnson Vegetable Farms are culpable and have to be more responsible than this. The EW reporter describes the event as a “loving, fun community.” Really? Does one have to degrade a religion to do this? Now that is what is really scary.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
