The Dangerous Safety of College
The ugly protest at Middlebury is a wake-up call. We’re failing today’s students.
Hasnain says:
"“You are creating a kind of liberalism that the minute it crosses the street into the real world is not just useless, but obnoxious and dangerous,” he added. “I want you to be offended every single day on this campus. I want you to be deeply aggrieved and offended and upset, and then to learn how to speak back. Because that is what we need from you.”"

Italian Band Soviet Soviet Denied Entry To The U.S., Jailed And Then Deported
The Italian post-punk group, which had tried to enter the U.S. to play at member station KEXP and then at SXSW, says it was sent back to Italy by authorities after spending the night in jail.
Hasnain says:
While this sucks for the band, as far as I know they do need a proper visa for this (B1 doesn't cut it either).
Honestly disappointed with NPR for this poorly researched article, especially the quote below:
" It was traveling under ESTA (also known as the Visa Waiver Program), which allows citizens of nearly 40 countries to travel to the United States without having to obtain a visa.
Such visas are frequently used by bands coming to the United States when they only are slated to play unpaid showcases, as paid work while traveling on an ESTA is prohibited."
The ESTA is explicitly not a visa, you also state so (so you know that fact), and then you go ahead and call it a visa? Sigh.

WBNS-TV reports that Reynoldsburg police were alerted after several students were caught chewing betel nut at the Reynoldsburg High School Summit Campus. Police say the students were visibly off balance.
Hasnain says:
Who gets high on Tulsi and supari? This is ridiculous.
I can understand going after it because the cancer will kill you, but it makes no sense to go after it because it'll make you "high"
