Before I start, I would like respond to Oliva Shackleton’s article from three weeks ago, which I was too busy previously to respond to. In the interest of space, I will summarize my refutation with two points. First, laws, including...

If the level of nervous politeness I have received in my effort to respond to Declan Leary’s recent column, “Drag Queens and Jesuits,” is any indication, then he has created at least a minor PR headache for John Carroll...

I write this as an alumna that hopes to see John Carroll succeed: I am mortified by the way in which you espouse hatred on campus under the guise of being a “true” Catholic. “True” Catholicism is not synonymous wit...

Over the past few weeks we’ve been subjected to some supremely ignorant and uninformed opinions by a student who’s naming is not warranted. I too am infuriated that his brazen hate speech is being published in th...

My first encounter with Declan Leary’s Op/Ed column was three weeks ago when he wrote on the tobacco policy at John Carroll. While I disagreed with the content of the article and thought it was almost satirical, I was not ove...
