Today, the students walking about Frostburg State University were abuzz, not with spring, but with the news. The most important news on students’ minds were Kony 2012 videos and news stories, but it was not because they like or even cared about the Ugandan rebel leader. The importance of the news was that it was on Facebook, said Darren Haggard, freshman majoring in computer science. The internet documentary about Kony and his possible human rights violations is making national news and the story remains a controversial issue. Bryan Murtha, a theater major noted that the Kony story is a non-issue, he stated that “nothing can be done about the issue, it is just a Facebook status.” What he believes would be a reasonable alternative “would be direct aid.” Brenden Williams, an information technology student, is not sure what to make of the story because some sites have reported that Kony is already dead. He is sure about one thing, that the story needs to be investigated and the facts displayed meticulously obvious because the donation for aid "sounds like a scam."
