The uncomfortable reality of Derrick Rose's comeback
(11/06/18 3:00pm)
Last week, I watched in awe as Derrick Rose dropped a career-high 50 points against the defensively-minded Utah Jazz. His quick changes of direction, and gymnastic body contortion reminded me, along with basketball fans everywhere, of the old DRose. The youngest MVP in NBA history back in 2011, Rose faced tremendous adversity in the subsequent years, undergoing three significant knee surgeries that saw his status in the league plummet from the face of the Bulls’ franchise to an oft-injured journeyman now playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In wake of massacre in Pittsburgh, empathy needed now more than ever
(11/02/18 6:52pm)
Cecil Rosenthal, a victim in the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting, was a member of the organization Best Buddies. Best Buddies matches adults with disabilities with college students and hosts events to help facilitate the friendship between them. Cecil brought his buddy, David, to services and prided himself on being the member of the congregation who had the job of carrying the Torah.
Letter to the editor: Pro-Palestine demonstration justified, necessary
(10/24/18 6:07pm)
It is ironic that people on this campus are upset over a mock apartheid wall yet are not upset over the fact that it represents the actual apartheid wall in Israel that blatantly denies Palestinians the right to return to their homelands and restricts their movement through the oppressive body that Israel is and always has been.
The real purpose of our student government
(10/24/18 6:14pm)
In a recent Badger Herald opinion piece, a UW student criticized The Associated Students of Madison’s advisory role in the University, arguing that it does not have legitimate power because of a lack of direct enforcement capabilities. This argument promotes a fundamental misunderstanding of both the purpose and the structure of ASM. In Wisconsin, student power is uniquely protected by state law: “Students have the primary responsibility for advising the chancellor regarding the formulation and review of policies concerning student life, services, and interests” (Wisconsin State Statute 36.09(5)). Our purpose is not and should not be to make policy, but rather to advocate for student interests, advise the University on policies concerning students, and support student involvement across campus.
A letter to my neighbor and fellow Badger on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
(10/22/18 9:22pm)
This summer I read Yossi Klein Halevi’s book, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor. Each chapter is a letter directly addressed to his Palestinian neighbors, who live in the West Bank adjacent to his hometown in Jerusalem. His work is meant to show how the conflict appears through the eyes of an Israeli. He wrangles with the complex strands of faith, pride and politics that underpin the rift between Israelis and Palestinians.
Baby Boomers are too quick to judge
(10/18/18 2:00pm)
Among the laundry list of millennial hallmarks I can't stand lies the phrase "entitlement," closely followed by Tinder and veganized pastries.
Immigration is an American tradition
(10/15/18 4:00pm)
Both my parents immigrated to the United States for the opportunity to live lives with better opportunities, not just for themselves but for their families as well. As a proud daughter of immigrants, I can confidently say that’s what most immigrants want. They want to provide for their families and oftentimes that means picking up their lives from their home countries and moving to another.
Cardinal View: Evers is best choice for next governor
(10/11/18 5:23pm)
There is little glamour to the governorship of a state — at least here in the Midwest. Many people see the position of governor as someone who appears on TV every once in a while to unveil grandiose plans that never seem to happen, or as someone who provides leadership only in times of trouble, such as during natural disasters.
Brett Kavanaugh puts our personal choice rights at risk
(10/02/18 8:13pm)
Hundreds of miles from Madison, in the nation’s capital, a small group of rich white men is once again threatening our most basic human rights.
A chance to change the course of history

The year is 1991.
My opinion doesn't matter, yours does
(09/25/18 2:00pm)
It seems like every day I turn on the news, I don’t like what I see. I read headlines and get angry and worried about what is happening in my country; yet I turn away, I keep scrolling, I think ‘there’s nothing that I can do’ and instead watch cute puppy videos to cool my rage.
Students should be allowed to study abroad in Israel
(09/24/18 4:14pm)
Imagine this scenario: You are a third-year student hoping to study abroad in Italy.
Cardinal View: The free press is only here to help
(09/22/18 1:00pm)
Over the summer, dozens of news outlets rallied their editorial boards and published coordinated statements decrying President Trump’s hostile rhetoric toward news media, specifically his declaration that journalists are “enemies of the people.” Arguing that a free press is a cornerstone in a functioning democracy, these organizations pointed out the dangers of living in a society where the government works in darkness and no systems exist to disclose its work.
Please read further than just this headline
(09/21/18 8:27pm)
In today’s society, it is easier than ever to get a big picture idea of nearly every type of issue. With information increasingly being deconstructed into tweets and headlines instead of books and full articles, people have more superficial knowledge than ever before.
Why Brett Kavanaugh cannot be appointed
(09/13/18 2:00pm)
Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing opening statement consisted of fun-filled memories and heartfelt thank-you’s. He expressed how much he loves his family, adding light-hearted anecdotes about his wife and kids. He was trying to relate to you. Maybe he succeeded.
What we learned from college football week one
(09/06/18 2:00pm)
Editor’s note: College football is nothing without its fans, and its fans are nothing without their passion. In an attempt to capture that unique intensity and overreactability, we’ve asked sports editor and The South enthusiast Bremen Keasey to give us a weekly breakdown of college football happenings around the country like only a true fan could.
Letter to the editor: Your country needs your passion and your vote this November
(09/05/18 3:00pm)
Let’s just admit it. We’ve all done it.
The complex legacy of John McCain
(09/05/18 1:00pm)
Politicians make a career out of high-stakes decisions. Sometimes those decisions turn out well, and other times they have devastating consequences. After a public servant dies, there is usually a period of time when their record is discussed by the public, and we all try to determine how we should feel about their legacy: Did they use their position to create positive change, or did they cause more harm than good?
Higher education: an opportunity not to be wasted
(08/13/18 5:23pm)
Privilege is a strong word. A lot of people like the benefits that come with it… but don’t like to be told they have privilege. For some of you, you’ll be hearing about privilege for the first time this fall. It’s something a lot of people scoff at – after all, you can’t see it, so how can you be sure it exists?
