...petition that factored into lifting restrictions on some countries, said that students should be given more freedom in deciding where to do research. “There are many countries on the State Department’s list that just aren’t that dangerous, and it is unfair for politics to determine where students can and cannot do research.” Dzambukira said.But Casey M.

Stereotyping people based off the food that they eat is just immature, ignorant, and unfair, and I simply will not stand...
