Browsing: political affiliation

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. For many students, it creates an uncomfortable dynamic where disagreeing doesn’t feel like a real possibility.

With the election coming up, we ought to attend in-person political events, especially events hosted by political parties we are not affiliated with. By watching and listening to people talk about their political standings, we add a sense of humanity to our differences.

No matter the issue, if there’s something you feel needs to be addressed or someone you feel needs to be represented, speak up for them. Your voice matters. You’ll never regret taking a bit of initiative to create positive change.
