Hypocrisy, intolerance, and general narrow-mindedness seem to be what is left of modern political discourse, assisting the caustic factionalism that denies young Cornellians a fruitful political experience. Yet, amidst this disheartening reality, I found solace and inspiration in the Cornell Political Union because it is the very antithesis of this trend. While this year went far from smoothly, thank you to Cornell University for this Freedom of Expression theme year. Daniel Obaseki is a graduating senior in the College of Arts and Sciences and the President Emeritusof the Cornell Political Union. The Cornell Daily Sun is interested in publishing a broad and diverse set of content from the Cornell and greater Ithaca community.
