Opinion: Tread Lightly with Labels

April 5, 2022 by Sarah Best

Let it be up to the individual to disclose which labels, or lack thereof, they choose to resonate and identify with. Forcing one’s own understanding onto another individual because of predisposed expectations or standards of how that person fits a mold or label is wrong.

March 15, 2022 by Sarah Best

Granting college students full anonymity to express their concerns over a class or professor sounds like a good idea in theory, which is why the Rate My Professor site was established.

With anti-LGBTQ+ companies like Chick-fil-A given freely to the Pepperdine community, statements of inclusivity seem to lose their value as a result.

Opinion: Safe Parking Providers Must Extend Their Reach

October 6, 2021 by Sarah Best

LA County has one of the highest concentrations of unhoused people in the country. Alongside the growing rate of homelessness in cities like Malibu and Santa Monica, such concerns can be alleviated by adding safe and secure overnight parking lots for those living out of their vehicles.

Opinion: Religion Doesn’t Justify Women’s Reproductive Defamation

October 6, 2021 by Sarah Best

On Sept. 28, the Pepperdine College Republicans took to the Freedom Wall to promote their pro-life agenda.
