More and more I’m reminded about just how entitled members of this student body are, and how little they own up to that fact. Many, and not all, but many, Cobbers choose interesting hills to die on.

The enchanting tale of “Beauty and the Beast” has created a surprisingly large amount of controversy for a children’s movie.
