To the Trump supporters who paid me a visit

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 3, 2017

Two days after the election, I was in my room in Keough Hall like any other night. Having finished a day of classes, I had returned to my dorm to relax and finish some homework before dinner. Half an hour went by and then I heard your shrieks. It startled me, but I assumed it

The future of the Democratic party

Liam Stewart | Monday, January 30, 2017

Former President Barack Obama suggested in an exit interview last month that, had he run again in the 2016 presidential election, he could have secured himself a third term in the White House. “I’m confident that if I — if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of

Similar letters, different messages

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, November 29, 2016

The first letter appeared as a paid advertisement in Nov. 15 print edition of The Observer. I was invited to sign it, but declined. I might possibly sign, if asked, a somewhat parallel but very different second letter, with one qualification. It should not claim as the authors of the first letter do that their letter is

‘I voted.’ What now?

Letter to the Editor | Monday, November 21, 2016

Last fall, we invited campus to join the civic engagement dialogue and enter into political life. It was September of 2015, and a slew of presidential candidates was spread across the field in the first leg of what would become a brutal and mud-slinging 18-month race. Blissfully unaware of the challenge that lay before us,

And now, a word from Shakespeare…

Raymond Ramirez | Monday, November 21, 2016

In the post-election haze of hopes dashed, unexpected victories and false prophets (I’m looking at you, Nate Silver), it is helpful to seek the wisdom of the great thinkers of the past for perspective and context. The first source of insight is the observation of Antonio to Sebastian in “The Tempest,” that all the crazy

Ciara Hopkinson | Friday, November 18, 2016

After a divisive election that brought the fate of Muslims in America to the forefront of the national conversation, Go Forth ND hosted a panel Thursday with the intention of combatting the ignorance that feeds Islamophobia. “The angle we’re taking on this is that Islamophobia is a major factor in radicalization,” Nick Roberts, a Ph.D.

Nicole Caratas | Friday, November 18, 2016

In preparation for Thanksgiving, Saint Mary’s faculty and students hosted a panel to discuss compassion, civil discourse and concrete action in light of the recent presidential election. College President Jan Cervelli said differing beliefs should not be a divisive factor in a community. “We are the Saint Mary’s family, and families sometimes disagree,” she said.

Why have we elected an apprentice?

Gary Caruso | Friday, November 18, 2016

If Notre Dame could hire the high school football coach Gerry Faust (30-26-1) to manage its major university football program from 1981 to 1985, why not let American working-class voters choose an apprentice to occupy the White House? Three traditionally Democratically Rust Belt industrial swing states decided the election by a mere 107,000 votes — Wisconsin

Nationalism is not dead

Letter to the Editor | Friday, November 18, 2016

On Nov. 8, the American people took to the polls to let their voices be heard in our most vocal of democratic processes. And vocal they sure were. Donald Trump won in a surprising upset when compared to the polling data that had him losing handily. If the pundits and news sources were to be
