The Fallacy of Radical Inclusion

By Catherine Evans
March 31, 2025 11:29 AM
In such a diverse nation, with its plethora of cultural and religious backgrounds, socioeconomic standings, and varied passions, no one citizen is the same. Although each and every one of us blossomed into unique individuals, we can all come together in agreement that standardized testing is the worst. College applications are stressful enough without having to worry about getting your ACT score up ten points. Before you can even take the ACT, you study for hours on end for the SAT only to find out the school you’re applying to doesn’t even regard the score. Of course, this is all much easier if you are privileged enough to have a tutor or to sell a kidney for extracurricular prep classes and the stack of textbooks that come with it.

Arya’s belligerent denunciation of the French language as a prerequisite for a Canadian representative has reignited the debate over whether the leader of a bilingual nation should be proficient in both languages.

Both of these celebrities, alongside another slew of high-profile actors, singers, and public figures, participated in the 2024 election by endorsing presidential candidates and urging fans to vote. Some celebrities even went as far as to join candidates on the campaign trail, performing and speaking at rallies.

Is the Decline in Minority Enrollment Post Affirmative Action Ban as Dire as Predicted?

By Catherine Evans
December 06, 2024 11:32 AM
The conversation following the Supreme Court’s decision to ban race-conscious enrollment was one of lament and fear. Some critics were worried that minority enrollment would be slashed drastically, undermining national goals to diversify elite campuses and denying opportunities to underprivileged minorities. This new class of students was the first to be admitted in absence of a race-conscious admission policy since 1978.
