Henry: America’s elderly government could use an age cap

Brendan Henry, Collegian Columnist April 25, 2022
President Joe Biden’s ghost handshake went viral a couple weeks ago, but since then, videos of the event taken at different angles have been released, showing he was in fact addressing people who were off-screen in the original video. The fact-checked video seemingly dispels rumors of Biden's confusion, but that does not mean his actions shouldn't be more seriously considered. Before the viral video was fact-checked, I myself fell victim to believing Biden was definitely off his rocker, and it got me thinking we should have an age limit for politicians.

McMillan: Eating ‘authentic’ foreign food is not a competition

Adah McMillan, Collegian Columnist April 25, 2022
The search for “authentic” ethnic food is problematic and performative. First of all, the term “ethnic” itself is a problem. The use of ethnic to describe food from nonwhite cultures is not really accurate definition-wise but too accurate in its reflection of how a lot of white people think of people of color.
McKissick: Too much sex positivity can be a bad thing

McKissick: Too much sex positivity can be a bad thing

Nathaniel McKissick, Collegian Columnist April 24, 2022
Sex positivity is reaching new peaks on the internet. People everywhere of all gender identities and sexualities are joining sites like JustFor.Fans or OnlyFans to post pornographic content of themselves. The number of content creators on OnlyFans more than tripled from May 2020 to September of last year, and while the ratio of pornographic to nonpornographic content hasn’t been made available, the website is nearly synonymous with sex work now. But has sex positivity enabled the growth of hookup culture? Can too much sex positivity place us in unsafe environments with strangers whom we know next to nothing about?

Hontz: Congress must act to uphold public trust in the Supreme Court

Chase Hontz, Collegian Columnist April 24, 2022
In the 232-year history of the United States Supreme Court, only one Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached. Despite this historical hesitancy of the American government to impeach justices, it’s becoming excruciatingly clear that Congress should act to hold Justice Clarence Thomas accountable for his recent actions.

Henry: Abstinence-only sex education is damaging, excludes LGBTQ+ people

Brendan Henry, Collegian Columnist April 24, 2022
Young adults have sex before marriage. Believe it or not, it is a common occurrence, especially when leaving home for the first time and being on one's own — it is a time not only to learn about a specific field of interest in a university setting but also to learn about and explore the field of sexuality. This leads to the question of why abstinence-only sex education is still a thing. Telling a teenager not to have sex is like telling a grizzly bear to not defecate in the woods.
