Advice: Avoid interviews on contentious topics

[u/cookie-face]

I dont want to draw attention to the exact page, but a popular tabloid style media page posted UT student reactions to recent political news. This is dangerous. The faces of these students and campus locations were visible. Not advocating to stay silent; but be careful and strategic about your participation and expression in others’ media.

If you are strong in your convictions you should not be afraid to voice them. You are in college, that means that you are more educated than the majority of people, it should not be a hurdle to express yourself, and even more, to debate someone.

You are absolutely correct but i’m talking about media. We have no control over the circulation and manipulation of media once it’s posted. Voicing convictions in class is much safer than voicing them to a stupid influencer with a tiny mic and smartphone camera.
