And suddenly the president's call to defund universities for "radical left indoctrination" sounds a tiny bit less crazy.
- jiofih 6y agoIt was never crazy, just a wildly disproportionate knee-jerk reaction that ignores the real underlying issues, cultural and legal.
- mindslight 6y agoApart from the impact to the professor and his students who have been denied a learning opportunity, this is the larger cultural problem - validating the simplistic "other side". Both teams are rallying around straw men for each other to attack, driving polarization over essentially nonsense. Meanwhile anyone arguing for sanity gets labeled as an other for not toting the unreasonable party line. Despite claiming to be opposed to one another, Cancellers and Trumpists are just two faces of the same destructive force.
