Lukianoff and Schlott show that the Right also has its methods and tactics for avoiding debate and suppressing voices it dislikes

Bull$h1t. Give an example. The writer gave examples of the Left cancelling opponents; but not the Right. Just stated that the Right does it. Gotta be evenhanded and all that? Sure.

I had thought the pandoras box of canceling a product based on a different pov or statement kicked off with Bill Maher and his comments about the 9/11 hijackers. Same for the Dixie Chicks with their pov with Bush and Iraq. Ingraham even wrote the book Shut up and Sing, lol. That wasn't heat from the left.

--- "Give an example. The writer gave examples of the Left cancelling opponents; but not the Right. Just stated that the Right does it."

From the article: "Rather than teaching students how to rationally argue, our schools (and not just colleges) are teaching that dissenters can and should be silenced."

On some threads, I have been called a "dissenter," as a "disruptor," and told to "rot in hell." [ verbatim ] I have been called a "Commie," not for anything other than disagreeing with a few on a thread, all the while agreeing with others. Yup. There are examples rather close to home.
