team’s numb skulled coaches entered us is that most of our divisions rivals were in the tournament so they thought, “hey this is our chance to show our worthiness, why not prove ourselves.” First we played the legendary Cavaliers, a team from Charlottesville with a rather fitting name.

In 1932, a study was organized involving 600 black men, 399 of them had syphilis (CDC). The goal of the study was to see if no treatment was better than the treatments at the time, which were ineffective and occasionally toxic (Schwartz). The men involved were told they were being treated for “bad blood”, and while the participants were volunteers and were…

that you don’t have to be concerned with if it will be a problem. You asked me that, and it’s ok. I keep telling you that it is about progress not perfection.

If Richard Spencer were to request to give a speech on SVSU’s campus, then the school should decline his request. This is because Richard Spencer’s speech is, or at the very least, very very close to hate speech.
