The conservative’s guide to being liberal-approved™ at Duke

(02/17/16 6:46am)

Congratulations! As a conservative at Duke, you are Privileged™.* Unlike the majority of students, you will learn how to engage constructively (not to be confused with Enrage™) with an opposing argument. You will often be frustrated because your attempts to Advocate™ for Marginalized™ communities will be Silenced™ by those who do not respect minority ideas. However, you will learn that, while approaches like mandating Implicit Bias Training™ for all students (to recognize bias against conservatives) and creating identity affinity housing (a Safe Space™ where conservatives can be around like-minded students) seem tempting, they will only create a more divisive community in which Ignorance™ about conservative ideology perpetuates itself. In order to become accepted by liberals, you can neither DEMAND™ their understanding nor can you disengage them by publishing an Un-UnChronicled™. Your only hope is to be Liberal-Approved™.

Today is the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that has long been celebrated by many of my friends and peers. I get a nauseous feeling when I think about it, as a Catholic and as a scientist. I ask everyone who does not have a background in embryology or who feels unclear about when human life begins to please watch this video. I learned about this myself in a challenging and fascinating developmental biology course during my freshman year at Duke. The molecular process of fertilization is actually extremely complex, and I encourage anyone interested to read more about it here.


Who's not voting in Durham?

(11/06/15 10:06am)

Our most recent Durham municipal election occurred on November 3, 2015, when Bill Bell was re-elected as mayor and three city council seats were filled, one by incumbent Steve Schewel and two by newcomers Jillian Johnson and Charlie Reece. In this election, about 19,352 ballots were cast, yielding a dismal voter turnout of around 10.7 percent, which is somewhat reflective of the past voter turnout for Durham municipal elections. For comparison, the official voter turnout in Durham for last year’s senatorial election was 44.6 percent, and was 69.4 percent for 2012’s presidential election.
