Academic freedom on college campuses has long been under threat from the looming specter of “cancel culture” and a prevailing progressive monoculture that empowers radical campus activists to target conservatives and stifle ideological diversity.
Canadian political science professor Eric Kaufmann revealed in an academic study published Monday in the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) that “cancel culture” may be even worse than previously thought. He noted in a recent Wall Street Journal editorial that his findings indicated a pervasive climate of viewpoint discrimination and “cancel culture” on college campuses.
