How cancel culture poses a threat to a shared campus culture

Count me among those feeling confused after the University of Wisconsin Madison hauled away a 42-ton boulder from campus in August in the name of racial equality.

Removed by administration in August, the rock had once been referred to as a racial slur by a local newspaper in 1925, apparently warranting its dismissal from campus grounds almost 100 years later.

As an UW-Madison undergrad, I agreed with sentiments I read online from peers, alumni and observers who called the decision to remove the pre-Cambrian glacial rock, estimated to be over two billion years old, rather absurd.
