We talked about our thoughts on the policy, why we think the policy is the way it is and we proposed some possible alternatives and solutions to satisfy both the student population and the administration. The solution that we all agreed on was that students should be able wear their jackets until prayer before each class, just to give them a few extra minutes and so that they don’t feel pressured to take it off before they enter the classroom.

Fact and fiction often come together to create a good story. Oftentimes, both have to work together to create a good one, but there are exceptions when a story can be made worthwhile by relying solely on facts, or on the general basis of facts but based on fiction. Such an example is the Battle of Thermopylae, a legendary tale of a last stand, or was it really a last stand?

"Gael Controversy" is a series of podcasts where I discuss certain controversial topics at MSJ. There are some things at MSJ that the administration likes that the students don’t and/or vice versa. For example, many students have their disagreements about the cell phone policy. However, the administration seems to like the policy and don’t plan on changing it. I made it my job to get both perspectives on this topic and explain to both sides what the other has to say. I hope that this series would bring serious awareness to these topics instead of just conversations between classes. I also hope that by the end of each episode, the listener(s) understands why something is the way it is or why it is being changed.
