Dissent: Harvard Shouldn’t Sacrifice Values for Optics
Tossing the label of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” might be politically expedient for now. But it will not solve Harvard’s public relations crisis. Instead, it only muddies our moral compass.

I Don’t Need Kamala Harris to Vocally Defend Trans People. I Need Her To Win.
The right wants to legislate transgender people out of existence, and, for all the shortcomings of Democrats on trans issues, it’s imperative we vote to stop them.
