Thanks for this reply @extremedistaste! I've been trying to get more insights on general campus culture while learning about these trains of thought. My cousin just started at a reputable art school in the Northeast and what he describes of their "inclusionary" activities horrifies me. I'm curious to hear more about your own experiences.
The culture of violent protest against conservative speakers is absolutely astounding. The premise that we should only welcome those that are in alignment with the outspoken few is absurd. The expensive scandals around Ben Shapiro and Milo are setting a very dangerous precedent.
I agree with you 100%. University is for challenging, not coddling. We're supposed to be dismantled and put together into stronger, more resilient individuals.
If you ever have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them! I go to school in Boston, so I've seen the Women's March first-hand and have witnessed a slew of political agendas throughout my short time here. It's certainly an experience!
