Read More Quick Hit: Awesome Sexual Assault Prevention CampaignYou may have seen articles discussing this shocking development in the news last week. Yes, the Wilcox County High School in Georgia has a segregated prom, a segregated limo rental service and tuxedo rentals. Not in the 1950s—right now, as in this year.

Read More The Segregated Prom—Why Privatization Won’t Work As Long As We Live With IdiotsSo the other day I was singing a song that I sang when I was in elementary school.

Read More Unequal Standards: Involved FathersJMU Crushes. JMU Confessions. JMU advice. Are these anonymous Facebook and Twitter accounts helping or hindering our already technologically dependent generation? I vote hindering.

Read More Anonymity at a Whole New LevelI read an article about a month ago by Fox News contributor Suzanne Venker, entitled, “To be happy, we must admit women and men aren’t equal”. Uh, what?
