Opinion: The 'I don't see color' mentality doesn't belong in Christ's culture

August 23, 2021 12:00 AM
I've heard various people throughout my life say, 'I just don't see color; it just doesn't matter to me.' With a smile on their face, I've listened to others explain to me why the color of someone's skin isn't what they judge others by. I've never wanted to hurt them by telling them how much their words hurt me.

Opinion: Imposter syndrome occurs across campus

August 09, 2021 12:00 AM
I was 16 years old when I officially joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a lone member in a ward full of large families, I often felt aloof and struggled to feel like I truly belonged. I sat next to various families during sacrament meetings. I didn’t attend seminary, never attended a Family Home Evening, didn’t know the words to 'Popcorn Popping' and often avoided answering questions in Sunday School because of fears that I would answer incorrectly.

Opinion: We need to talk about sex

July 19, 2021 12:00 AM
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was taught about the law of chastity and sexual purity since I was a young child.
