Tolerance and acceptance of others comes with exposure. The more we are around and form relationships with people of color, the more normal these interactions become. The more our communities represent different sexualities, the more understanding and knowledgeable we become. The same is true for people with disabilities-physical, mental, developmental […]
There has been an apparent red and pink takeover on social networks in the last few weeks-and no, it has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. It does, however, have everything to do with the celebration and representation of love in America. With millions of Americans replacing their profile pictures […]
April Fools’ Day pranks aren’t really my style. Call me a fun sucker, but I’m just not into the holiday. But this year, I couldn’t help but notice the sheer number of jokes and gags that were circulating on the Internet. It seemed like every webpage I visited, I wasn’t […]

Unfortunately, this has happened or will happen to all of us at some point. Students might complain or become frustrated with […]
It’s not very often we have visitors in our newsroom, let alone little ones. Heck, we’re not even convinced a majority of our readers know where are offices are located. But no matter. I’m sure you can still understand my excitement when I was approached by a local Cub Scout leader asking […]
