Thanks so much! We're not family so this is all a big unknown! Question: Are the graduating students ever permitted to leave campus during that week? Or the weekend before? AFTER the graduation ceremony, the rest of that day and that weekend, how much freedom do the graduates have to...

Just wondering what the graduation day looks like for the graduates and the visitors. And also, I'm wondering about how whether the to-be graduates are allowed to leave campus in the days before graduation (the weekend before, and during that week before graduation when classes and exams are...

Sometimes you win because you learned.

Nobody has brought up impeachment on the issue of this virus. Nobody. Yes the toilet paper hoarding is an over-reaction. But the rest of your post is seriously off the mark, irresponsible and dangerous. The mortality rates cannot be known with certainty but the most conservative best estimate...

The reaction to the hand display in this instance is the identical reaction that has occurred in several other recent instances, none related to the military. I do not believe there is any reason to think that the reaction is driven by a desire to shine a negative light on this particular...

Please take the time to read what the ADL has said. It is nuanced.

But the ADL also says VERY clearly that it is NOT being used as a hate symbol in MOST instances. It has been used in a dark way in some moments and seems to have been adopted by a few known white supremacists. But the ADL says NOT to assume that all who use it are using it in a negative wy.

For a forum that is not supposed to be political, there is an awful lot of posts along the theme of " the liberals and the liberal media are to blame for everything" appearing on this thread. For the record, the experts who actually know the history of this hand symbol, the very folks who...

I have had a few HORRIBLE misspellings in my life. I have banned spell check from my phone because it just makes things worse.

On the contrary, I was making the point that for those who serve, the president is the Commander in Chief. Period. And I know they could spell the name of their commander in chief because it is important to them. THAT is my point. Respect is respect. Was your spelling error a random mistake...

It really has intrigued me how, over the years, words and symbols and even hand gestures can get hijacked and start to mean something else. Like, I am still working to stop myself from using the expression "hook up" - to me, it means just to get together with someone to have lunch or to form a...

Uhm. Okay. I don't know those young people. I wouldn't dare speak to their motives. And I'm certainly not young and "with it" to know what the possible alternative interpretations might be. But I will suggest that you view the video and just see what there is to be seen, with an open...

There is no question that President Trump is the boss of everyone on that field, be they Democrats or Republicans or something else. And indeed, he can wear whatever he wants. And he knows that many will not like the choice to wear a campaign hat. The question is, I think, WHY? Why choose a...

My comment was in the very same spirit as the comment to which I responded. The subject was support for the military (a topic NOT related to the original poster's comment.) There is more than one way to consider any commander in chief's support for the military. I get that the pardons are very...

He could have chosen to support the game in a nonpartisan way.
