Conservative Students Are Being Silenced By Liberal "Tolerance"
Libs are making it hard for conservatives to practice their free speech, especially with the cancel culture and media. It has become so bad that conservative students, especially white, are choosing to self censor themselves to avoid conflict, and it doesn't help that teachers are making conservative feel like social pariahs. But liberal students on the other hand feel their freedom of speech is intact and have no issues expressing their progressive stances. A recent survey shows that 85% of conservatives students are planning to hide their political views.
"The online poll asked 1,000 college students: “With the current political climate, do you expect to self-censor yourself in class this semester so your professors or peers don’t take offense at your ideas?”
Fifty-four percent of Republican-identified college students responded yes, they plan to self-censor, while 35 percent said no and another 11 percent are unsure.
In contrast, only 15 percent of Democratic-identified college students plan to self-censor, while 68 percent said they would not and 16 percent said they’re unsure."
"The results also found that white students are more likely to self-censor than black or Latino students, at 30 percent compared to 20 percent and 21 percent, respectively."
"Nicole Neily, president of Speech First, said the statistics are not surprising but they are distressing.
“The window of acceptable discourse on modern college campuses is very narrow — and has moved increasingly far to the left,” Neily told The College Fix via email.
She noted that students’ opinions can often be perceived as “hateful,” “biased” or “offensive,” which could lead to disciplinary hearings.
“Beyond disciplinary proceedings, students also credibly fear their peers, who are increasingly intolerant of differing viewpoints,” she said..."
This is what college-age students are being forced to face. Liberals claim they are oh so tolerant but then conservatives are being forced to silence themselves or they will appear hateful for having a different opinion. It's not a "safe space" that encourages learning, it's practically a cult where you must assimilate or be ostracized.
