Charter schools in Alabama would help improve broken education system

Regan Williams April 14, 2013

There has been a lot of debate on education in the state legislature this year. Largely, it has been centered on the Alabama Accountability Act and the vouchers it provides for private schools. While...

Outstanding Baylor center should play WNBA, not be Cuban’s show pony

Amber Patterson April 14, 2013

Over the past month, the world of sports has seen more action than usual. Baseball season has begun, the NCAA men’s and women’s tournaments are wrapping up and the NBA playoffs are just right around...

Consider the issue, not the language

Letter to the Editor April 14, 2013

Much has been made of the graphic displays being used by Bama Students for Life. As an undergraduate, I was president of a pro-life student group at another institution. Our group chose not to use the...

How the pro-life movement can make win-win situations out of abortion debates

Letter to the Editor April 10, 2013

I don’t particularly like the pro-life movement. First, let me be clear: This is not a discussion about whether a fertilized egg is a person. This is not about whether a woman’s privacy and bodily...

BSL, Speer both fail in effectively messaging their case on abortion rights

Letter to the Editor April 10, 2013

As typically happens on the topic of abortion, both sides have such a pitiful way of messaging. Both pro-life and pro-choice groups often spend more time labeling the other side as hateful rather than...

BSL’s belief in their own infallibility has cost them credibility in this debate

Nathan James April 10, 2013

Anti-abortion proponents only restrict freedom of choice for American women

Letter to the Editor April 10, 2013

“Abortion is murder. Abortion is genocide. Abortion can damage a woman’s body for life.” It is these statements that anti-abortion groups would have people believe in order to have people support...

Anti-abortion groups should back up opinions with facts

John Speer April 9, 2013

Generally, I consider myself a fair and tolerant human being. I think it advisable that if you have nothing intelligent to offer to a conversation, it is best that you remain silent. Subsequently, I must...

‘Big Brother’ textbook software that monitors studying an invasion of privacy

Tray Smith April 9, 2013

Johnny Manzel may not be the greatest threat coming out of Texas A&M. The university is part of a group of institutions experimenting with software that allows professors to see how students use textbooks....

Our View: Bama Students for Life should examine the language they use

Our View April 9, 2013

The editorial board of The Crimson White cannot, and may not ever, agree as a group on the issue of abortion. Our members have fundamentally different views on the issue. But last night we had a discussion...

We must reject repetition in American media, appreciate creative stories

Lucy Cheseldine April 8, 2013

Repetition is a natural human need. We crave routine and the perfection of a circle. We live our lives in a series of cycles and end up exactly where we began. There seems to me a certain idea behind repeating...

Hollywood should seek originality, create new movie ideas

Beth Lindly April 8, 2013

There’s been a lot of talk about remakes in Hollywood lately. With the highly anticipated new rendition of “The Great Gatsby” on the way, critics and moviegoers alike are abuzz about how Tinsel Town...
