Reflection of our arguments is necessary, especially if they are published

Nov. 8, 2016

For the past two Wednesdays, Scott Stinson wrote coupled columns titled “Secular self-reflection is necessary” in which he replied to an editorial written by the Alligator’s editorial board titled “Religious self-reflection is necessary.” Stinson remarks that Mr. Editorial’s article bases its argument on multiple empty assumptions.

The Alligator endorses Hillary Clinton for president

Nov. 7, 2016

This election has been anything but typical. It’s an election that has spawned questions that breach the core of the American spirit. Who are we as a nation?

These questions are as complex as the society that asks them. We need to have the courage to embrace that complexity — no matter how strange, uncomfortable or morally questionable. In this election cycle, there is only one candidate with the courage to answer these questions with the respect, thoughtfulness and honesty they deserve. That candidate is Hillary Clinton.
