You are buying into the Fox News hype. "Cancel Culture" is a product of the Fox/right wing echo machine.

Way to go propagating a RWNJ talking point.

DP. I don't even watch or read RWNJ outlets. I'm a liberal. You don't have to subscribe to RWNJ theories to recognize that today's progressivism is vicious and that the right to non-offensive speech is undermining the free exchange of ideas that is essential to a college education, and our democracy, but that's another story.

Cancel culture is real. How do I know this? I'm a liberal, but I do not feel free to express my opinions. Some of my opinions I don't feel free to express (except anonymously):
- I disagreed with closing schools and think schools should be 5 days a week
- I disagree with giving minors gender transforming hormones without their parent's consent because the long term health consequences are unknown, and I don't believe a 13-year-old has the wisdom to permanently transform their body in irrevocable ways
- I think that the focus on identity politics is divisive, brings out the worst in our country, and ignores huge swaths of the population that don't fit neatly into one group (my family, for example)

Were I to express these views publicly, I would probably face dire professional consequences so I sit quietly on the sidelines.

I would dare say you aren't liberal or conservative, just a human being that has the ability to formulate their own views...this as you said is the rub, woke culture isn't just about cool, do what you want, it is embrace my philosophy fully or you are bad. Do people not see the danger in this?

I think you can see from this thread that, no, the “woke” don’t see the danger.

So what are we going to do about this as a culture? I am in the same boat as OP. I don't want to spend 70k a year to have my children brainwashed into being enforcers of some type of cultural revolution.

Honestly, I think the majority of liberals think that it has gone too far but are too scared to say anything. Most people fall in the middle and reject either extreme. I think that if we just speak out more against the nonsensical cancels (not Central Park Karen, e.g), we can move the needle. I've started being vocal about this with more of my friends and have discovered to my surprise that I'm not really in the minority here.

We need a centrist political party (but I guess that is not a college forum discussion).

OP HERE- Please stop. I asked for no snark. WE ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE!! We are liberal- we just want a place that allows for dialogue!!!

Ironic. You trying to dictate how people respond to you.

The answer, OP, is most colleges and universities will have what you're looking for. If your child (and it's your CHILD who needs to be concerned about this, not you) is so put off by factions of radicals, most campuses have those too. Maybe trade school would be a better fit if they can't handle that?

Ironically, it is this type of response to OP's question that she is trying to avoid. You immediately rejected her point of view and then tried to relegate her kid to trade school. Do you see what you did there? Stop it. She's entitled to her view points and questions. You can respect that, choose not to answer, and move on.

Well, her point of view is not valid. So yes, I did that. Because I am correcting her. We don’t need to pretend like everyone’s opinion is valid just because they express it.

This is probably the most progressive, liberal response on this thread. To try to inject a bit of self-awareness, YOU are exactly who the OP is trying to avoid, and with good reason.

DP...so I guess we are ok with Nazi point of views running rampant in our culture without consequence.

OP, is not a Nazi and neither are her viewpoints. That is the exact problem. Her views are completely valid but she's being shut down and now there's a comparison to Nazis. This is the craziness she's trying to avoid.

+1.

The PP did not say OP was a Nazi. See how you jumped the shark on that one. But the question is... do we allow all viewpoints? Do we allow white supremacist and Nazi sympathizers in our schools to "teach their viewpoint"?

- you want to risk the health of teachers and the community during a deadly pandemic?

I can see why you'd want to keep those opinions to yourself.

Another fine example.

I love it. So anytime I get called out for expressing some dumba$$ opinion, I just can claim "cancel culture" and not actually defend myself. I can say anything I want no matter what. That way, I'll always be the victim.

OP, remember that the Catholic vote is 50/50 and they tend to be in the middle of the political spectrum either way. My brother votes R (but not T) and I vote D and we agree on most things.

NP. There is no risk to teachers or the community by having schools open now. Stop lying.

I don't care what the hell other families do; I want my kids in school. Thankfully, they are in a private that is 100% open.

Catholic schools are exactly what OP is looking for (unless she holds an unfounded political stereotype about Catholics). OP, remember that the Catholic vote is 50/50 and they tend to be in the middle of the political spectrum either way. My brother votes R (but not T) and I vote D and we agree on most things.

Catholic schools and for that matter all Catholics should be cancelled by today's standards...slippery slope people.

Yes to Purdue. Most of the other schools listed are too conservative for OP. Do not dismiss the Catholic schools so quickly, OP, and look at Niche rankings of most liberal Vs most conservative schools.

Ya, those Catholic school's don't cancel pro-choice or gender fluid topics

They don't. They are hotly debated on campus. You can't have a debate unless people with different views are a part of the conversation, can you?
