The political left and the right are caught in a destructive loop of condemnation and recrimination around “cancel culture.”

Many on the left refuse to acknowledge that cancel culture exists at all, believing that those who complain about it are offering cover for bigots to peddle hate speech.

Many on the right, for all their braying about cancel culture, have embraced an even more extreme version of censoriousness as a bulwark against a rapidly changing society, with laws that would ban books, stifle teachers and discourage open discussion in classrooms.

"The Times Opinion/Siena College poll found that 46 percent of respondents said they felt less free to talk about politics compared to a decade ago. Thirty percent said they felt the same. Only 21 percent of people reported feeling freer, even though in the past decade there was a vast expansion of voices in the public square through social media."
 
It goes far beyond conservative states yanking books about race and sex from public school libraries. Since 2021, 175 different bills have been introduced or pre-filed in 40 state legislatures which target what teachers can say and what students can learn, often with severe penalties. Of those, 13 have become law in 11 states and 106 are still under consideration. All told, 99 bills currently target K-12 public schools, 44 target higher education and 59 included punishment for violators.

Preventing pornographic materials from libraries and schools is not about speech, It's about common sense. :palm:

Right-wing "cancel culture" watch: study room at University of Florida named for Marx

GAINESVILLE, FLA. (TND) — The University of Florida reportedly removed a dedication to Karl Marx after a Campus Reform report highlighted one of the university’s study rooms was named after him.

Marx, the author of The Communist Manifesto, is considered to have laid the foundation for the rise of contemporary socialist and communist movements throughout the world.

excellent topic.. TY
freedom of speech and expression is vital to human beings’ search for truth and knowledge about our world. A society that values freedom of speech can benefit from the full diversity of its people and their ideas. At the individual level, human beings cannot flourish without the confidence to take risks, to pursue ideas and express thoughts that others might reject.

Ah yes, Karl Marx. The douchebag who gave us Cuba, the USSR, Cambodia's Kmer Rouge and China. One has lost count of the innocent souls murdered by Marxism. Yet douchebags like you opine that the name Karl Marx is removed from study room.

I cannot imagine someone with more mental issues, other than the equally stupid douchebag who calls himself Gecho and, of course, Dutch Uncle.
