By Tommy Gagliano On March 15th, a terrorist attack was carried out on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The death toll has now reached 50, with another 50 or so injured.

Young Motherhood
By Mason Carteri Recently, I was in contact with some friends from my hometown, milling over the latest gossip from our old high school. From them I learned that a local girl had gotten pregnant at 16, and because it’s the 21st century, she had of course made a YouTube channel as well. Somewhat instinctively, I rolled my eyes and groan-laughed before looking up her channel. At that moment, I was more morbidly curious, like…
You’ve Been Lied To About Campus Sexual Assault

By John Restuccia When analyzing comic book characters with stories that changed the medium, one character has had more groundbreaking stories than any other – Batman. Throughout the history of the character, Batman’s stories have pushed the boundaries of what comic books could be. What was once seen as just stories for kids became dark, mature stories that questioned morals and what really was good or evil. Two issues ago I wrote about Frank Miller…
Do Pro-Life Messages Bother You?
By Jordan Jardine It may surprise some Review readers to hear this from me, but there is one political issue on which I have a moderately conservative stance: abortion. I am an anarchist, so I tend to err on the side of less state intervention in the lives of the people, but I also believe in the sanctity of all life and that the state, while it exists, should protect innocent lives by any means…
