SPORTS

Two of the most prominent facets of our government and our very existence are the Bill of Rights and First Amendment. Bandied about as the fabric of being, the outward facing embodiment of our freedom as Americans. It is one of our most notable achievements as a nation. It is also one of the most grossly misunderstood concepts in our nation.

OPINION: Madison Cawthorn should be doing more to help the disabled community

The average disabled person has to overcome a plethora of barriers and inequalities to survive let alone thrive in this world. These include transportation, navigating the government’s bureaucracy, getting the proper aid, and last but not least challenging people’s perceptions in hopes to be seen as normal. However, individuals like North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who is paralyzed, are privileged enough to have the resources and connections to live a normal life. So, as a public official with his platform, he should be advocating for his fellow disabled citizens in North Carolina rather than magnifying white nationalist rhetoric which ultimately excludes him due to his disability.
