Jesse Matthew Trial
Donald Trump’s ascendancy into the Republican political milieu may result from his candid media interactions. The abrasive entrepreneur has won plaudits from supporters who perceive him to be a Washington outsider who dares to speak his mind and approach topics other politicians do not touch. In a CNN interview, former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer responded to Trump’s comments linking illegal immigration to crime by saying, “I believe that Mr. Trump is kind of telling it like it really, truly is.” Prominent conservative commentator Pat Buchanan attributes Trump’s lead in the polls to his rejection of political correctness, which has resonated with Americans who are “tired” of politically correct Republicans.

4: Number of student deaths this academic year.
Recently, this newspaper published the most recent in a long line of articles assailing the idolatry of the University’s founder, Thomas Jefferson. The article posited that we must acknowledge the role slavery played in the inception of this University, and, by extension, permanently illuminate Jefferson’s enduring hypocrisy, which chagrins us and which we constantly attempt to mitigate. The Monticello website — under the “Property” heading — works to couch Jefferson’s slave ownership in apologetic terms: he was a benevolent slave master, it affirms, though he “did not always succeed in ‘lessening the violence of slavery.’” Further down, it lists “reasons” as to why Jefferson failed to free his slaves, none of which make mention of his moral cowardice, and the fundamental incongruence between his maximalist rhetoric on individual liberty and his complacency in the face of institutionalized oppression, a complacency shared by a great majority of his countrymen at the time. Jefferson was quite literally a revolutionary thinker — but ultimately he was only a man. It is a disservice to his legacy, and his ideals, to attempt to deify him.
