Introducing Reactions: Opinion’s snappy and succinct mini-columns

After major scoops and stories on campus, Reactions will host a series of snappy, prompt, roughly 250-word pieces, staking out different points of view. These mini-columns can engage with each other directly, explore different sides of the issue at hand, and — importantly — prioritize timeliness.

We cannot be hypocrites on anti-Semitism

I agree with Hoffman that normalizing anti-Semitism on campus is tragic. So then why does this same standard not apply to College Republican events?

Still in solidarity with Dr. Tyson ’98

Given all that’s been said about the “unforgiving nature” of the #MeToo movement and “cancel culture,” comparatively little attention has focused on the forgetful nature of the body politic, with regards to sexual assault allegations.

As the ‘Prince’ Editorial Board aptly argued, respecting free speech is not the same as awarding free pulpits.

The absence of allies

YDS and PCP failed to demonstrate solidarity with many of their Jewish allies in AJP with their silence.

Democrats, let’s not get ahead of ourselves: the 2019 elections demand our attention

Even if you cannot get excited about Kentucky, Louisiana, or Mississippi, our adopted home state of New Jersey is holding State Assembly elections for all 80 seats. These elections matter and will impact the daily lives of millions of Americans long before any hypothetical presidential inauguration in 2021.

Nuke the filibuster

The current rules of the Senate enable tyranny of the minority. As 2020 Democratic primary candidates outline their plans to tackle these issues, it is important to keep in mind that no ambitious course of action can be adopted — even with Democratic majorities in the House and Senate — if the filibuster remains.

Evil is on the ballot

As the leaders of the civil rights movement often said, “voting is a moral act.” Let us heed their call this November and vote evil off the ballot. 

It's time to pack the Court

If Kavanaugh cannot be removed from the Court, his voice can be drowned out by the addition of more justices.
