Freedom-loving Americans must resist cancel culture
Question of the Day
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
No place in American society is off limits for the amorphous blob known as “cancel culture.” Academia, Hollywood, toys, newspapers, baseball and even food companies have been subjected to the ultimate form of censorship total cancelation.
In recent months, we have seen increasingly absurd examples of the left’s vitriol and cancelation tactics.
J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, was canceled for her commonsense remarks that gender differences are real. Rowling was defending another cancel culture victim, Maya Forstater, who had tweeted that allowing trans-women to compete in women’s sports is unfair. Commonsense viewpoints are among cancel culture’s biggest victims.
Another idea in contention for the school s name change was Barack and Michelle Obama Middle School, which had the backing of board members Anita Hanna and Jeff McBride.
Despite many members of the public speaking passionately during Tuesday night s board meeting in support of using the Obama name, Waukegan School Board President Brandon Ewing ultimately pushed back against the idea. I think [Obama] was a great president and he did things to move us forward, Ewing said, according to Fox 32. But just like we re having the discussion about Thomas Jefferson, all men are flawed and nobody s legacies are perfect. I think we have a responsibility to listen to all constituents and weigh that in whatever decision we make.
