You can't be afraid to call out evil even when it's coming from your side.

Dangers of an Echo chamber

I authored this text because of the rise of antisemitism, racism, and political unrest on student campuses and how academia does nothing to curb the hate but only helps encourage it.

Book Bans Harm Kids.

Censorship has a shameful history in the U.S. The infamous 1873 Comstock Act made it illegal to mail works considered to be obscene, such as pamphlets about birth control. James Joyce's Ulysses was banned in the country in the 1920s, and the U.S. Postal Service burned copies.

Book Bans Harm Kids.

This is article about book bans in schools and why the books should not be allowed to be banned.

When Will This Stop?

Requiring boosters has gone too far! Some may not have access to the necessary documents in order to be exempt from the vaccine and booster. This leads to being fired from a job and losing access to classes at universities like Rutgers.

The Atlantic: Why Are Gamers So Much Better Than Scientists at Catching Fraud?

If unpaid Minecraft mods can produce a 29-page mathematical analysis of Dream’s contested run, then scientists and editors can find the time to treat plausible fraud allegations with the seriousness they deserve.

The Atlantic: Why Are Gamers So Much Better Than Scientists at Catching Fraud?

I am adding this post in the context of the numerous voices who do not see integrity in the scientific community. The Augean stables of research publishing should be reviewed and cleaned out of fraudulent studies – especially since such scrutiny is not that hard from the technological point of view.

Diversity At Rutgers

Rutgers is a very diverse university and has helped me understand how people may feel when they are the minority in certain situations.

Dialogue Workshop – Extending the Conversation

Quote from a political science student who participated in the Dialogue Workshop on March 29, 2022.

What would it look like if Rutgers valued diversity?

Rutgers University is the most diverse university in the USA, and it should federally advocate and lobby for its diversified students!

What would it look like if Rutgers valued diversity?

Diverse students at Rutgers notice how Rutgers Newark openly promotes its diversity yet fails to offer inclusive, safe spaces and resources.

Over 350 Groups Urge US House Leadership To Back H.R. 40

We, the undersigned organizations, firmly believe that addressing pervasive anti-Black racism and providing reparations, long overdue, cannot wait another day, month, year, or decade. We are in a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we cannot let slip away if we are to begin the process of righting the country’s wrongs. Voters will remember what Congress did and did not do when it had the power to act. It has that power now. It should ask itself: How do we want history to remember us?

Over 350 Groups Urge US House Leadership To Back H.R. 40

The United States Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence states the principles on which our government, and our identity as Americans, are based. Unlike the other founding documents, the Declaration of Independence is not legally binding, but it is powerful. Abraham Lincoln called it “a rebuke and a stumbling-block to tyranny and oppression.” It continues to inspire people around the […]

The United States Constitution

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. – Preamble to the United States Constitution

The United States Constitution

The Constitution acted like a colossal merger, uniting a group of states with different interests, laws, and cultures. Under America’s first national government, the Articles of Confederation, the states acted together only for specific purposes. The Constitution united its citizens as members of a whole, vesting the power of the union in the people. Without […]
