Farewell letter: Kyle Garrison
Well, it happened. The woke mob finally got me. Has cancel-culture gone too far? [Omit, rhetorical question – Zach]. I will no longer edit the satire section due to my potential imminent graduation.

Oklahoma undermines marriage equality
Don’t be surprised when Obergefell v. Hodges is next to fall. When the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) last summer, it offered two primary justifications for its decision to revoke the 50-year-old right to abortion. In his majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization […]
