Column: It's ghost or, you know, maybe don't

Column: Classrooms shouldn't be afraid of technology
"Technology shouldn’t replace traditional teaching, which is what I’ve seen it utilized for in 13 years of primary and secondary public education. But we certainly shouldn’t be afraid of it."
Column: What it’s like to be a woman with ADHD
Studies estimate that as many as 50 to 75 percent of girls with ADHD are never diagnosed.
Column: Cardi B, we don't like it like that
But no proletariat revolution has ever originated on Instagram live inside of a multi-millionaire’s walk-in closet. Tomi Lahren is right: it’s disturbingly comical how fame has become a golden soapbox for celebrities to spread their hypocritical agendas.

Column: The dominant factor in UNC's affirmative action policy
Underrepresented students who have a viable claim to a discrimination suit are the only ones with standing to benefit from affirmative action under the racial justice rubric. The law can’t recognize an unquantifiable concept like institutional racism. The only real question is whether administrators at UNC allowed their ideology to cloud their understanding of law and the Constitution.
