Quick — you’re being targeted by the cancel culture mob. Your inbox is blowing up. Your Twitter mentions are filled with hate. There’s a petition demanding your termination.
What do you do?
According to three professors who’ve all had this happen to them recently — they all agree on one thing — don’t cave.
“The pressure to apologize in an effort to appease one’s tormentors can be tremendous, but do not give into the pressure. If you feel you did no wrong, do not apologize,” said Princeton University classics Professor Joshua Katz.
“I have watched people abase themselves before the mob in an effort to receive mercy for what should at most be a misdemeanor and be mocked for it—for there is no redemption in the new woke religion,” he said.
Katz made the comments during an August 30 forum, “Saving Higher Education from Cancel Culture,” which also featured DePaul University philosophy Professor Jason Hill and Cornell law Professor William Jacobson.
Jacobson, who was targeted by a so-called cancel culture mob over the summer, warned the unrest and tensions on campuses today are being used by certain groups to increase their power.
“This is a power play. … What we’re seeing going on, on campuses and in the culture, more broadly, is an exercise of power to prevent open debate of ideas,” Jacobson said
...
The damage from cancel culture is not to the people who are able to survive, who have a platform or job protection,” Jacobson said. “It’s to everybody else who doesn’t have those benefits and those protections. They are scared into silence
...
free speech is a bedrock principle. If we cannot agree on this, then we are lost as a nation.”
