Professors are getting canceled because one student reacted badly to one thing they said one time. This form of cancel culture needs to be stopped! This form gives every student total power over their teachers, based only on their own subjective feelings, and power like that inevitably corrupts. (It's kind of like how the police have a "Marshall Law bubble" around them at all times; of course they are going to abuse it!)
The other form of cancel culture that needs to be stopped is the taboo against asking uncomfortable questions. If you look around the world looking for admirable governments, do you see a pattern? If so, would you be cancelled for naming it? Is that okay? Are we so committed to egalitarinism that we want to forcefully ignore measuring differences between human populations, or even framing hypotheses that imply a difference?
