During his campaign, Trump made a statement that all Muslims should be banned from entering the U.S.
You could smell the urgency in the air on Sunday, as scores of Penn students suspended their studies and sped to Philadelphia’s International Airport. None of these students would be boarding flights; they were going to register their protest to President Donald Trump’s Executive Order, penned to prohibit entry to the United States by citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. The order was decidedly un-American. Prohibiting the entry of hundreds of millions of people around the world, based solely on their national origin betrays our history as a nation of immigrants.
In the era of rampant “fake news” and “alternative facts,” now more than ever we have a moral obligation to seek truth to inform our dissent.

Trump’s order transcends mere partisan or intellectual dispute and rather enters the realm of immoral, lawless cruelty.
Maybe it’s because I’m graduating from Penn soon, but I’ve been reflecting a lot recently on how I came to be here in the first place.

The notion of mutual exclusivity in your education – that your studies either have to be an inch deep and a mile wide or an inch wide and a mile deep – should not exist at Penn. The width of your education refers to the range of disciplines that you study, while the depth emphasizes how much you choose to specialize.

At The Daily Pennsylvanian’s Opinion Section we have a cardinal rule: Don’t feed the trolls! This is because — as is true in all online forums — divisive opinions tend to generate callous responses and replying to volatile comments usually just fuels the flame.
