COLUMN: Presidential nomination illuminates race and gender inequality

By Anna Groover · Thursday, Aug. 18,2016 11:30 p.m.

I remember staying up past my bedtime on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. As I hugged a pillow to my chest, I followed along as each state on the map on the TV turned red or blue.  Then, I watched as Barack Obama was declared the winner of the 2008 presidential election.  At 10 years old, I had no idea what “Democrat” or “Republican” meant.

COLUMN: In defense of Yulia Efimova

By Rebecca Dague · Wednesday, Aug. 17,2016 6:55 p.m.

No Olympic narrative has been stronger this summer than that of IU's own Lilly King and Russia’s Yulia Efimova—good versus evil, athlete versus cheater.

LETTER: Response from a regular reader

Wednesday, July 27,2016 8:33 p.m.

I am a regular reader of the online edition of the Indiana Daily Student and frequently read the editorials - most of which I vehemently disagree with the positions taken by the student editors.

COLUMN: History repeating for Democratic convention

By Tristan Fitzpatrick · Wednesday, July 27,2016 8:31 p.m.

Scenes of Bernie Sanders supporters protesting and walking out of the Democratic National Convention this week in Philadelphia over the nomination of Hillary Clinton as the party’s nominee reminded me of a far different moment in political history.

COLUMN: Bill Clinton, America's first gentleman

By Jessica Karl · Wednesday, July 27,2016 8:31 p.m.

The 42nd president of the United States of America entered uncharted territory last night as he took his best shot at stepping into the supporting role his wife previously inhabited as she became the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.  Americans can’t deny that this situation is unusual.

COLUMN: Liberals should remain "Still Sanders"

By Therin Showalter · Wednesday, July 27,2016 8:28 p.m.

We almost had our revolution.   Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has made the likely fatal error of nominating Hillary Clinton, who stands a good chance of losing to Donald Trump in November. Despite this, our revolution was not a total failure and we can remain “Still Sanders” long after November has passed, no matter the outcome of the election.

COLUMN: How to date Anarchists

By Josh Byron · Wednesday, July 27,2016 8:27 p.m.

Trying to date someone who isn’t on your side of the political spectrum can be exciting, or it can be a horribly rude awakening to the fact that not everyone sees the world the way you do.

EDITORIAL: Clinton's VP Nom

By Editorial Board · Sunday, July 24,2016 6:29 p.m.

Hillary Clinton has announced her running mate nomination for Vice President, sitting Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine. While many are not familiar with the Senator, the Editorial Board thinks Kaine is a solid choice that strikes a stark contrast between Donald Trump’s choice.

COLUMN: America doesn't need King Midas' touch

By Rachel Miller · Sunday, July 24,2016 6:25 p.m.

            I have refrained from writing about Donald Trump and his asinine bigotry in order to refrain from contributing to the growing idolatry surrounding his candidacy for President. However, I feel I should comment, especially in light of his pick for Vice President, our equally bigoted Governor Mike Pence.             Donald Trump personifies everything that makes America a sad example of prosperity and power.

COLUMN: You can't leave your identity at the door

By Josh Byron · Wednesday, July 20,2016 6:57 p.m.

Identity is always a thriving, political part of life. This is especially true in the classroom. Power and longing play integral roles in becoming and learning. We want to be seen heard, but those who get to be heard are always in flux.

COLUMN: Melania Trump's Plagiarism, explained

By Jessica Karl · Wednesday, July 20,2016 6:57 p.m.

It’s 2016 and we have spell-check, physical dictionaries, not to mention the countless websites that allow individuals to correctly order their ABC’s, yet #plagerism was trending on Twitter.
