The lesson of Flint: Get the government out of our lives!

Spencer Schneier       Staff Writer The ongoing crisis in Flint, Michigan is firstly and mainly a tragedy. Originally, I did not think it was appropriate at all to discuss the politics around it, as an entire generation of children in a town being poisoned is hardly a time to voice one’s political opinions. But when Bernie Sanders chose to make a political attack … Continue reading The lesson of Flint: Get the government out of our lives!

Congress is paid way too much.

Mark Parent Opinions Editor I really don’t like Congress. Then again, how could anyone? Given our enormous debt, out of control entitlements, feckless foreign policy and inability to tackle even the smallest problems, this anger is completely understandable. But, I’m not really interested in tackling these particular problems today. Instead, I’d like to focus on an issue that hits a bit closer to home: congressional … Continue reading Congress is paid way too much.

In fact, society tells us that we … Continue reading We should value history, not tear it down

Since then, America has been involved in nearly every Middle Eastern country and while the threat is, militarily speaking, the grounds for success or victory are illusory at best. The … Continue reading America’s Wars: The War on Terror

Spartan Sensibilities

Lauren Cherry      Copy Editor So can we just stop with the whole “slut shaming” thing? Let me be more specific since there seems to be a never-ending supply of this in the world. Today, of course, I’m referring to criticism of the singer Ciara and her attire at the College Football National Championship. To sing the national anthem, she chose to wear a … Continue reading Spartan Sensibilities
