Standing up to cancel culture begins on college campuses



It is no secret that free speech is under attack on college campuses across the country. It was not but a decade ago when my Latin American Politics professor told an entire classroom of 20-year-olds that White men are the source of all modern problems.

It seems like a weekly occurrence when news breaks that college students have been censored in their classrooms, extracurricular organizations and beyond. Take your pick of plentiful scenarios: a liberal professor teaching an alternate version of history, pushing slanted versions of the truth, or college administrators shutting down a campus guest speaker because his or her values do not align with those of the university’s liberal administration. 

Today’s college students have little recourse in fighting back against the progressivism that pervades every aspect of university life, often forced to regurgitate what their professors want to hear just to pass a class or be relegated to the only “free speech zone” on campus where one can speak freely and without persecution. Forget standing up for what you believe in — you’ll be labeled ‘racist,’ ‘sexist,’ an ‘alt-right troll,’ or worse; facts be damned.
