Checking their email, messaging their friends, listening to music, holding a conversation, AND doing their homework… Well, turns out they can’t. At least not simultaneously.

Marching through White Plaza, while snaking through the Quad, and ultimately while sitting down in the intersection of Palm and Campus Drive, I kept thinking about why I was marching with dozens of other Stanford students, decrying the CA Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Prop 8. Sure, I believe in civil rights for everyone. I believe it’s the Supreme Court’s responsibility to protect the rights … Continue reading Legislate Against Prop 8: Stop the Violence, Stop the Hate!
