It's the thing that has college kids stressing out all the time, the thing that can make or break you depending on your preparation, the thing that professors take forever to submit. It's your grades. I know it's not necessarily a laughing matter, but I think it's funny that we worry ourselves so much over a number that pops up on Canvas ... [Read More…]
What the American Girl company teaches about ethnic studies agendas
Do children need to have toys with the same skin color as them? Do they need to read about people who look like themselves in literature?

Have we effectively exercised our right to protest?
A year ago, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick chose to sit during the national anthem before the start of each NFL game. Kaepernick went unnoticed for the first few games of preseason, but once he started catching flack his motivation was clear. Through much controversy, Kaepernick made it clear that his choice to sit was in protest ... [Read More…]
There’s no difference between pledging and marijuana
Yes, the headline is "click-baity," but that doesn't make it any less true. The argument against the recent changes to the bid night and pledging procedures and the argument for the legalization of marijuana are essentially the same. Advocates for the legalization of marijuana would argue that if people are already using marijuana, that it is in ... [Read More…]
Reese had it right: The church needs to reconsider LGBT acceptance
In lieu of one bold sermon including one brave female professor, and in a coliseum filled with generations of Christians both old and new, one powerful sentence was announced across the podium during the finale of a Church of Christ conference – the church needs and should reconsider our stance on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ...

How to become a Div. 1 school
It's finally here. We are closing in on the opening of the new Wildcat Stadium, and for the first time since 1958, the football team will be playing on campus.

Our definition of tolerance is close-minded
Nothing is more valuable today than tolerance. Or so we think. Everywhere we turn, we're told to embrace the idea that anyone's idea, lifestyle or opinion is valid. It's okay for anyone to believe and practice anything. Unless you believe it okay to disagree with someone. Here is precisely where our modern definition of tolerance breaks ... [Read More…]
Repealing DACA could be the next best thing for immigration reform
There are four kinds of people on a shooting range. There's the steady people who say "Ready, Aim, Fire!" There's the guy who says, "Ready, Fire! Aim....oops." There's the cautious person who says, "Ready, Aim....oh wait, wait. Ready, Aim.....Ready, Aim." And then there's the guy who says, "Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!" If these four types of ... [Read More…]
If football doesn’t win, can ACU thrive at the Div. 1 level?
It's a question many alumni and students are asking. Can ACU excel at the Div. 1 level, even if football continues to struggle? Of course, the immediate answer is, absolutely. Or maybe it's hopefully. But let me help you make a more educated decision. For the last 10 months everything has been centered around the new Anthony Field at Wildcat ... [Read More…]
Column: Joel Osteen or Panda Express?
"They may not see the incredible in you right now. Keep shining. They will.," reads a tweet by @OsteenOrPanda. This is probably my favorite Twitter account of all time despite not posting any new content since 2015. It's satirical, but pretty realistic at the same time. I'm also convinced Osteen stared himself down in the mirror and spoke these ... [Read More…]
