For decades, left-wing environmentalists have warned against the dangers of climate change, the “existential threat” that must be dealt with immediately in order to avoid a cataclysm of epic proportions. In 1989, a senior U.N official argued that “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the […]
By Ishmael son of Nethaniah The following content is satire. See here for the Daily Princetonian piece it parodies. The first time that I ever received any serious reprimand for misbehavior in school was in the seventh grade. At the suburban midwestern Jewish Day School I attended from ages 8 to 14, we […]
Zachariah Sippy ’23 argued in a recent op-ed that the Princeton Office of Religious Life’s (ORL) decision to include Yom Haatzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) and Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) on a list of religious holidays is exclusionary to “non- and anti-Zionist” Jewish students. Sippy spills a lot of ink detailing the litany of political […]
It was a mistake for the Department of English to invite Mohammed El-Kurd, a deeply unserious “influencer” and plain antisemite, to campus. It was equally a mistake for some students to call on the Department to condemn its own event. In response to that call, Jeff Dolven, Acting Chair of the English Department, set out […]
Last semester, I took an African American Studies Class called “The Philosophy of Race.” I’m glad I took the class – it offered me a new perspective and insight into the enslavement of black people in the United States and the current condition of black Americans. I read the best works of black literary […]
The GOP envisions itself as staunch supporters of America in all of its beauty. In 2020, former president Trump ordered that public architecture imitate classical styles in order to “inspire the human spirit” and “ennoble the United States.” This is a definite step in the right direction, and should be applauded by anyone who appreciates […]
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the […]
Princeton claims it is “committed to free and open inquiry in all matters” and promises to promote “a lively and fearless freedom of debate and deliberation,” according to the University’s Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities. The University is not living up to these high ideals. A recent survey of conservative students on campus conducted by the […]
Princeton University’s announcement on September 29th to dissociate from the fossil fuel industry was inescapable. After major institutions like Harvard and Brown succumbed to public pressure, it was only a matter of time before Princeton would follow suit, eliminating fossil fuel holdings from its endowment and banning funding from hydrocarbon producing corporations. While the decision […]
On the evening of November 13, 2022, the treasurer of Princeton’s Undergraduate Student Government (USG), Adam Hoffman, proposed that the USG Senate sponsor a referendum supporting the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism. That proposal, which needed nine votes to become a Senate-sponsored referendum and appear before the student […]
On Friday, November 5, 2022, Princeton Committee on Palestine (PCP) released a statement calling on the University to boycott Israel TigerTrek, a student-led winter break trip that brings a Princeton cohort to Israel to meet with key players in the nation’s high-tech startup industry. PCP, led by Eric Periman ‘23, has a history of being […]
The upcoming election between J.D. Vance and Tim Ryan for the vacant Ohio U.S. Senate seat is critical for both parties, as Senate control will likely be decided by a few contested races. Things are heating up as the candidates trade insults during debates and chuck footballs while calling the opposition’s policies “bullsh*t” during non-stop […]
