“I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach,” Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe argued during the Virginia gubernatorial debate in October 2021. It was this line that likely cost McAuliffe the election. The Republican candidate Glen Youngkin seized on McAuliffe’s words, launching a series of attack ads aimed at mobilizing angry parents.

This year’s Oscar-nominated, live-action shorts are some of the most compelling pieces of cinema that I have ever had the privilege of viewing.

On light side, you see the men’s hockey team at a long table and hear them discussing how the Toronto Maple Leafs will choke in the playoffs again. Throughout Foco, you struggle to find room to squeeze in among the various clusters of black, Dartmouth varsity athletics parkas. Though Dartmouth emphasizes cultivating community, some say there is a divide between the social culture of athletes and “NARPs” — non-athletic regular people — on campus.
