for anyone confused on what is going on behind the Columbia gates, i implore you to read the coverage @ColumbiaSpec by my amazing peers. at spec, there are reporters on the front lines & they are able to write about us students in a way no other journalists can compare.

some of the most harmful and hateful rhetoric actually stems from liberals/leftists who demonize the south for being right leaning. it takes patience & empathy to educate others & intense judgment surely doesn’t help anyone’s cause
