Sweeping federal actions have defunded research, dismantled diversity efforts, and targeted international students — policies that clash with the very ideals Franklin set forth. Now, as we stand before his creation, our home, it raises a difficult question: Do we rebuild it into something easier to accept, or fight to preserve what it was always meant to be?
