FOGARTY: Traditional Thanksgiving rhetoric perpetuates ignorance

Sheila Fogarty, Opinions Columnist • November 19, 2019
Gratitude can negate injustice if it isn’t acted upon. The pilgrims' thankfulness swept the exploitation and abuse of indigenous Americans under the carpet. Today, gratitude can still negate modern injustices and inequalities, as it can promote ignorance towards the systematic support that White Americans have.

GARNER: Administration fails to exhibit Jesuit values, make MU home

Alexandra Garner, Executive Opinions Editor • November 19, 2019
The university abuses its administrational powers with the implementation of the four foundational pillars changes. It shows its disregard for students with the termination of programs and people essential to student and campus success. As a private institution, it can and did choose to silence our voices on campus property.

A Responsibility to Hold

Sheila Fogarty, Opinions Columnist • November 13, 2019
Marquette must acknowledge and fight social inequities, specifically poverty, in Milwaukee not because it is in Jesuit nature to do so, but because it is integral in identifying as part of embracing Milwaukee as part of Marquette.

BEG: White people’s comfort not responsibility of minorities

Aminah Beg • November 12, 2019
Minorities hold just as many rights as white people. Caucasians must change their ways and start taking action to give minorities those rights.
