Dear people who question Jackie

With regards to the Rolling Stone article about UVA - what is now up for debate: Whether Drew was a member of the fraternity. Whether Drew was a lifeguard. Whether the fraternity had a social event on the books that night. Some other inconsistencies in Jackie's story My responses, in order: Why does this matter if it occurred at the fraternity and included other fraternity members?

Open letter of support for the Black Student Union at IU-Bloomington

We stand with the people around the country calling for justice and racial equality in American society.  Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once said, “the opposite of good is not evil, the opposite of good is indifference.” He said this to wake up the masses during the Civil Rights Movement to bring people to their feet and combat racial inequality.
