If we value a woman’s right to access abortion, we must not only vote for candidates who support that right — we also must not allow this issue to be swept aside as a “fringe issue” or a “women’s issue” in 2020.
Narrowing the window of failure from 60 to 40 points doesn’t help students. It removes an important incentive that exists for good reason.
The outcome seems “right” to many Trump supporters, but it’s consequences are given very little thought.
Newspapers are no longer a main artery of arts coverage.
