Agree to Disagree

Every year, the Editorial Board creates a special project together – this year, the project theme is “Agree to Disagree.” Members of the Board have all written dissents to previous editorials, rethinking the arguments and reformulating their opinions through a different perspective.

Americans need good leaders, not good people

We all love to see politicians kissing babies, volunteering at food banks or scarfing down a corndog at the Iowa State Fair. After all, it’s proof that we, the voters, made the correct choice when electing a down-to-earth and understanding representative. This point...

Indulging in the Met Gala fosters unity, not political ignorance

The Met Gala is an event worthy of cultural appreciation and artistic expression — far from what the Wheel’s Editorial Board describes as a “fiasco” focused on “the superficial nature of celebrity culture.” Beyond this, in the Board’s Sept. 22, 2021 piece, “The Met...
