When I first heard about the story of the husband who made over a million dollars by eavesdropping on his BP wife, my initial reaction was one of shock and disbelief. How could someone betray their spouse in such a blatant manner, especially when it involves illegal insider trading? I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that this man would risk his wife’s career and their marriage for financial gain.
As I delved deeper into the details of the case, it became clear that this was not an isolated incident of greed and deception. The husband’s actions, although driven by a desire to provide for his wife so she wouldn’t have to work long hours, were still inexcusable.… Continue reading
This case of the Texas judge ruling that a school district can restrict the length of a male student’s natural hair has raised many eyebrows, including mine. How is it possible that in this day and age, we are still dealing with such archaic and discriminatory regulations? The fact that the ACLU had to intervene in a similar case in Texas previously shows that there is a pattern of targeting male students for their hairstyle choices.
The issue of gender-based discrimination becomes prevalent when looking at how this ruling targets male students specifically, without imposing similar restrictions on female students. The Texas CROWN Act, which was enacted to prevent discrimination based on hairstyles associated with race or culture, seems to have been completely disregarded in this case.… Continue reading

It’s disheartening to see a local establishment suffer such a financial loss, especially when it could have been preventable.
The impact of Tesla reneging on their catering deal with The Giving Pies cannot be understated. For a small bakery to have to deal with the repercussions of producing 4000 pies and then not receiving payment is a tough pill to swallow.… Continue reading

The fact that the school is being searched for blood and records is a chilling indication of the gravity of the situation.

accountability and standardization in the admissions process to ensure that all students are being assessed fairly.
When I heard that Yale will again require standardized test scores for admission, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. The current system of grade inflation at high schools is out of control. I’ve seen firsthand how students can easily game the system with assignments being graded leniently, tardies not counted, and the bar for passing set so low that it’s practically impossible to fail.
The recent restoration of standardized testing at Dartmouth also shed light on the fact that many lower-income students were actually harming their chances of admission by not submitting their scores.… Continue reading
