Billionaires are not needed
Bella Chiu, Staff Reporter
December 5, 2019
Wealth and poverty are not the inevitable balance of the world. Instead, the existence of billionaires is the main cause of this consistent inequality. Ultimately, billionaires should not exist. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren unveiled their wealth tax proposals dedicated to taxing...
Great talent should never be valued over our morals
Nathalia Moran, Staff Reporter
November 25, 2019
If talent should trump morality, then we could all support horrible people in peace. “No” is the simple answer to the debate of whether separating an artist from their craft is a good thing. However, separating ourselves as fans from an artist we feel represents who we are or what interests...
Instagram hiding likes not a solution
Dylan Newman, Staff Reporter
November 20, 2019
It's a great idea to hide like counts on Instagram. However, the implementation of this idea hasn't been as solid as its base idea. Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, announced on Nov. 8 that Instagram will begin removing likes from their platform in the U.S. The hope of this move is to boost user morale...
“Cancel Culture” holds people accountable for their actions
Alaiza Guerrero, Staff Reporter
November 20, 2019
Cancel culture is a great way for communities to take a stance on those who go against their value system. “Cancelling” to me means you’re simply done supporting the individual or organization.

Alt-right newsgroup on Facebook is unacceptable, hateful
Michelle Memoly, Staff Reporter
November 14, 2019
What people write says a lot about who they are and recently, Facebook has given a new platform to a hateful group that will further broadcast their unacceptable words. I heavily support freedom of speech for all. At the very base of things, I am able to understand I will never be able to control...
Churches should not lose tax benefits
Michelle Memoly, Staff Reporter
November 7, 2019
When it comes to churches losing their tax exemptions if they don’t support same-sex marriage, I am on the fence. Both the freedom of speech and freedom of religion would be at risk. I want to support this movement as I want the acceptance of the LGBTQ community to be nation-wide, but this is not the...
