Like those at most northeastern universities, many of Penn’s students are liberal. Because of this, I wasn’t surprised when I read an article in The Tab called “What it’s like being a Republican at Penn."

If you, dear reader, read this column with any sort of regularity, you can likely guess that I could write angrily about any of these at length.
