Can Trump do what Biden could not regarding Venezuela?

2 months ago | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

Every president makes mistakes while in office, no matter the overall achievement of their term. Former President Barack Obama famously left office having failed in his campaign promise to close the Guantanamo Bay facility, and former President Woodrow Wilson exited the White House unable to convince the United States to join the League of Nations, which he created. Now after four hard years at the helm, former President Joe Biden has also left office with a black mark on his record:Venezuela.
Are the Democrats racist?

Dec 6, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

The Democratic Party can no longer capture the hearts and minds of minority voters. After Nov. 5, the Democratic Party was quick to point fingers at who lost them the election, with their targets ranging from vice-presidential pick Tim Walz to current President Joe Biden, to racist and sexist Americans. While the Democrats continue their endless blame game, it has become apparent to the rest of America that citizens are tired of Democratic governance.
Death of Education: Where has the accountability gone?

Nov 13, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

Some schools have decided that not turning in your work means a 50% grade. The focus of our education system often places tangible results above all else. What letter grade can a student get? What is the average GPA? What is the graduation rate? These are the tangible factors that are discussed when implementing school policies. However, in placing so much trust in these seemingly irrefutable numbers, we are forgetting that schooling is a community effort.
The Democratic coalition is fracturing. Is there still hope to save it?

Nov 5, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

Regardless of who wins today’s presidential election, the Democratic Party needs to do some serious soul-searching on their handling of this election cycle. Kamala Harris is the current vice president, a former California senator and a former prosecutor. Her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is a race-baiting, idiotic and egotistical man who continuously spews conspiracy theories out of his mouth.
Death of Education: Bring back PE classes

Oct 16, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

Childhood obesity is a crisis that can be prevented inside of schools. It is not a mystery that childhood obesity has become a crisis within the United States. With increased screen time, unhealthy foods and high levels of stress, America’s children are becoming increasingly at risk of obesity from a younger and younger age. Indeed, this public health crisis has evolved and compounded into many more issues.
The Death of Education: Affirmative action is taking up too much of our time

Oct 8, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

We debate endlessly about affirmative action while other more pressing issues are ignored. As some readers might know, I have a weekly column titled “The Death of Education” in which I recently published an article defending the Supreme Court’s decision to outlaw affirmative action in college admissions. A few days later, the Daily published a Letter to the Editor that responded to my argument.
The Death of Education: In defense of the humanities

Oct 2, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

When I first began to apply to college, one seemingly easy question haunted me for many nights: What do you intend to major in? Even from a young age, I was drawn to the allure of history. From the tales of knights in shining armor to the details of gruesome diseases that ravaged the land hundreds of years before me, history was my passion. But when it came time to pick a major, I was hesitant.
The specter of isolationism

Sep 26, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

As the American presidential election heats up and both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris begin to announce their policies, one major point is conspicuously absent: America’s role on the global stage. Trump is likely to favor his America First strategy, which would see America give up its position as the defender of democracy on the world stage and retreat into its own isolated pocket. Harris’ position is neither well-articulated nor complete.
The Death of Education: The final defeat of affirmative action

Sep 25, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

Ever since the Supreme Court struck down the use of affirmative action in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, colleges and universities across the country have been scrambling to address the fallout of this decision. Major newspapers and non-profits decried the decision as disastrous for diversity and inclusion in America’s higher education system.
Progressives attack — education suffers - The Tufts Daily

Apr 22, 2024 | tuftsdaily.com | EVAN WANG

American progressives have long derided the right for its attacks on education and schools; however, it is long past time for the American left to look at itself in the mirror and realize its own hubris. This is not to let the hard right off the hook when it comes to education, but it is necessary for the left not to lose sight of its own failures. It is easy to see the Democrats engaging in the same culture war nonsense that they are so quick to condemn on the other side of the aisle.
