Let’s talk First Amendment. If you need a refresher, it reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” America is ...

We’re only as good as our allies
The Issue Some believe that "America First" is all that matters. Our Take America is only as good as its allies. President Trump embarked on a 12 day tour of Asia earlier this month to strengthen alliances in the region. The international community was hoping many questions in foreign policy would be answered, yet many are still wondering ... [Read More…]
Trump is a national disgrace
It's been a year since Trump was elected, and saying that it's gone badly would be a gross understatement. In the year since Trump was elected, diplomatic relations with our closest allies have been strained as the incompetencies of a 71 year old who has never held public office have become glaringly clear. For example, republican senator Bob ... [Read More…]
Giving (Chapel) credit where credit is due
The Issue Students are frustrated about getting enough Chapel credits, and they are disrespecting Chapel speakers. Our Take Although students need to respect university requirements, it may be time for the university to bring the 55-credit requirement down and start respecting students needs as well. Women’s basketball coach Julie ... [Read More…]
Jesus calls for transparency, so should the student body
When I first visited ACU, I knew I was home. I had high expectations for this university with its middle name being, "Christian." I mean, the 55 credits in which little freshman me didn't know that soon, they would come to feel like forced worship. Alongside most of the professors praying before classes started were the cool new Bible classes I was ... [Read More…]

The importance of questioning the Christian usage of sacraments
The use of sacraments is a debate that has lasted since the church's initial split during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Beginning with the seven sacraments of baptism, eucharist, confirmation, reconciliation, anointing of the sick, marriage and holy orders implemented by the Catholic church under the Council of Trent, the ...

The real parking issue isn’t with cars
I certainly would not consider myself an avid bicyclist. I reserve that title for much more committed people, who actually take their bikes off-campus. However, in my final two semesters I have finally created the most efficient way to get to and from class, and around campus. I have carefully plotted my schedule based on the bike racks around ...

Let’s not rush to judgment
The American legal system is founded on the principle that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. This was a novel idea at America's founding and would be seen as a ridiculous concept in some parts of the world to this day. We must not take "innocent until proven guilty" for granted. It is the bedrock of granting judicial fairness to the ... [Read More…]
