It is perhaps unsurprising that as we approach this year’s midterm elections — the most heated in decades — political rhetoric has become increasingly hostile, combative and even outright apocalyptic. As the Democrats look to capture the House of Representatives and Republicans attempt to expand their majority in the Senate, both have dramatically escalated their messages in an attempt to fire up their bases of support. President Donald J. Trump has defended his party by absurdly claiming his Democratic opponents do not care about crime and are leading “an assault on our country,” while some of his allies have ramped up attacks even further.
American voters are now less than two weeks away from casting ballots in arguably the most important election in many of their lifetimes. What is determined in the midterm results will write the political map for the coming years, and candidates are scrambling for strategies to ensure a tide-changing victory for their party. Though, Republicans have issued the most interesting tactic to douse a Democratic takeover. This, of course, is to simply prevent the other side from voting.

One of many lists in Carolyn Mackler’s "The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things," which in addition to being a fun, quick read really puts the spotlight on body shaming in the 21st century. Centered around main character Virginia, we get a first hand look at what it is like to be the fat daughter in an otherwise perfect family, and being the only plus sized girl in a private school. Virginia thinks about her weight a lot. She feels, on a fundamental level, that she is less desirable and in some cases less important than skinny girls. She lets her fatness dictate her life, believing she has to keep her interactions with boys a secret to avoid embarrassing them and, even worse, believing she has to go farther than skinny girls in order to keep a guy interested. It really hurt me to read that.
Killing does not refer to the morbid connotation. It is more so in the figurative sense. Currently, millennials (and Gen Z’s, essentially the younger millennials) are eroding at an alarming rate the industries that the older Baby Boomers — their parents — grew up with, taking down many of their long-held values with them. Of course millennials are not physically vandalizing stores — they are just slowly driving them out of business, using two weapons typical to the cosmopolitan: well-connected millennial sense of humor and its liberally aligned political views.
Anyone who attends Rutgers knows that as a community, we value acceptance and inclusivity very highly — we want to protect our fellow students from hate and prejudice. At the same time, being that we are a major public research institution, another one of our fundamental values is based in academic freedom and the spread of ideas. But in recent times, it seems those two values seemingly tend to clash.
An article released early this month by NJ Advance Media, details a series of sexual harassment claims filed against Rutgers University professors. Kristy King was one of the women who came forward accusing her graduate professor Stephen Eric Bronner of sexual misconduct after a “chat” in his office turned into a series of inappropriate touching. King came forward to tell her story approximately 20 years after some of the incidents took place. According to the former Rutgers policy, the University refused to investigate a sexual misconduct complaints that were more than 2 years old.
