Academic censorship in K-12 education is impeding

Academic censorship in K-12 education is impeding students' education, as teachers feel pressured to tailor lesson plans based on factors that have no basis in reality. Ysabel Nakasone highlights that across the country, 64 bills have been signed into law across 25 states limiting academic freedom, with demands for a "patriotic" education that whitewashes history. This censorship will produce uneducated graduates without critical thinking skills, undermining the US education system and its standing as a global power.

Contributing Writer Tomas Alves writes that the war in Ukraine is a contemporary iteration of the Cold War, with major powers taking sides and putting the international order's geopolitics at risk. As China rises as a global hegemon, it is taking preliminary steps to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, using its friendly relationship with Russia as leverage. China's actions in this conflict will be crucial, as they have a unique bargaining position that could end the fighting.

“We’re out here protesting the CIA. The CIA has intervened a lot globally. They keep us in perpetual war. I think overall we should be the generation that puts an end to this.” - Michael Tin, 2nd-year computer engineer major and tech director for The Highlander

Students from Cops Off Campus, a new campus organization, protested peacefully outside the UCR Career Center building on Monday evening against a job information presentation being given by the CIA. The protesters stationed themselves outside the meeting room where the CIA information session was taking place, and a large window allowed them to be visible by both the recruiters and any students present. Despite the protest, the information session appeared to have a full turnout with about 30 students in attendance.

South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh has been found

South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh has been found guilty of murdering his wife and son, but the inclusion of evidence related to Murdaugh's financial crimes has led to many people questioning the validity of the verdict. The trial has highlighted flaws in the judicial system and raised concerns about the publicization of trials, which can turn a murderer into a celebrity and be disrespectful to the victims' families. While the defense will make their appeals, now is the time for the public to show respect for the victims and their loved ones.

Researchers at the University of California, River

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, are developing a soft robotic sleeve to help children with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities perform daily tasks, such as opening doors, brushing their teeth, and improving their quality of life. Led by assistant professor Jonathan Realmuto UCR’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, the team has received $1.5m in funding from the National Science Foundation and is working under the National Robotics Initiative 3.0, which focuses on human-robot systems. The prototype uses soft, flexible materials and algorithms that use textiles to create low-cost and high-power actuators.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT “A lot of my work stems from

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

“A lot of my work stems from myself; self-healing, and struggles with mental health. Showing people that even though the world is crumbling around you, you can make your own reality.”

Vero Sanchez-Gomez, a third-year Anthropology major at University of California, Riverside (UCR) and a Social Media and Marketing Coordinator at Chicano Student Programs (CSP), has shared their journey as an artist with Brenda Jovel, our Radar Editor. Vero began their artistic pursuits at the age of 14 within the Santa Barbara Arts Alliance, a program supporting at-risk youths to explore art, and later became a mentor in the program. Vero's art stems from their Mexican heritage and mythology and often addresses their struggles with mental health and self-healing.
