Classrooms are supposed to be spaces where students learn how to think, not what to think. But when professors introduce their own political views, especially in classes unrelated to politics, it can blur that line.

I will always remember the exact moment when I openly stated, “I’m definitely not going to a private school or sticking around in Texas.” God had the last laugh. And I’m grateful that he did. My time at Baylor has been transformative. I’ve learned so much about myself these last couple of years and have grown so much as a person.

To the underclassmen who are annoyed at having to reroute their way to class or lunch because there is a mob of seniors taking photos that you’re probably photobombing, we get it. In fact, we are annoyed with ourselves as well.

Over time, the church has made Christ’s death and suffering too normalized. His horrible pain and agony have been lessened in our hearts and minds, and it is easier now than ever before to forget the brutality of Christ’s crucifixion. Watching “The Passion of the Christ” will remind viewers of this sacrifice and realign their hearts toward God in an honorable manner.
