Kendall Moffett | Staff Writer Instead of advocating for the diverse student bodies across Florida’s public Universities, officials want to promote late conservative commenter Charlie Kirk– plastering his image on campus roads. This isn’t just coercive; it’s an insult to the marginalized communities Kirk repeatedly targeted. Starting Jan. 13, 2026, Florida’s public institutions are required […]
Linette Garcia | Staff Writer On Sept. 3, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced plans to end vaccine mandates at a news conference. If these plans come to fruition, I will be the first to buy a plane ticket to leave this failing state. This jarring move would make Florida the […]
Sonia Stolar | Contributing Writer In a tense political climate, political discussions shouldn’t shut down, even within the classroom. I recently looked through a Rate My Professor page of a journalism professor whose class I am about to take. The mention of his political views voiced during class is used as a justification for a […]
Jonathan Roman | Contributing Writer The dismantling of the Department of Education has been many students’ nightmare since the election. Now that nightmare is potentially turning into a reality. On Mar.20 the fear set in as my phone buzzed with news notifications that President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing his secretary of education […]
Linette Garcia | Staff Writer President Donald Trump has always prioritized addressing DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in his 2024 campaign. So, it’s no surprise that on the first day in office he issued sweeping orders to revoke structures that historically benefitted people of all races, ethnicities and genders. In his inaugural speech on Jan. […]
Ariana Rodriguez | Staff Writer Donald Trump’s victory has left millions of Americans disheartened and for those of us who wanted a more inclusive and forward-looking America, his return feels like a slap in the face. Trump has proven time and again that he is not the president of the people—unless, of course, those people […]
Heidi Cuevas | Opinion Director The election results are in: Donald Trump has won and while some see this as a victory, we need to be ready to adapt to a significantly more conservative education system. Let’s start with the rumors of Project 2025 beginning once Donald Trump is inaugurated— if this is true, none […]
Kailey Krantz | Staff Writer I’m tired of being disappointed by politics and I am not the only one. There needs to be decisions made and casting our ballot is the chance to voice what we want changed. As a first-time female voter, I have seen firsthand the lengths politicians will go to appeal to […]
Kailey Krantz | Staff Writer It’s getting more and more dangerous to be involved in politics. The division between parties is keeping us from discussing important issues and uniting as a country. Political violence is unfortunately nothing new, but it’s still scary to think about – look at the attempted assassination on Trump. I was […]
Kailey Krantz | Staff Writer Governor Ron DeSantis continues to surprise Florida with how asinine he can be by twisting the law to fit his political agenda. Erasing important terminology from state laws neglects the reality we’re living in. On May 15 DeSantis signed HB 1645 into law which removes the term “climate change” from […]
Sim Sitzer | Contributing Writer Governor Ron DeSantis signed the nation’s first ban on cultured meat, outlawing its production and sale in Florida. If somehow you think this is intended to be in the best interest of the state, you’re forgetting DeSantis’ political style. The governor’s main justification for the ban is that it will […]
Kailey Krantz | Staff Writer The political influence in the classroom is getting ridiculous. If it continues, it’s only going to lead to harmful policies that will limit students’ chances of getting the education we deserve.
