"The University of Dallas recently ordered one of its professors to remove the term “China virus” from his syllabus. Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania deleted 11-year-old photos of its production of the operetta “The Mikado” from its website and apologized for staging it. The University of Texas at San Antonio banned its “come and take it” flag and motto from football games over racism concerns.
Each of these acts of censorship have occurred since the start of the new school year. They provide further proof that cancel culture remains alive and well on our campuses.
As editor of The College Fix for the last nine years, I’ve devoted my journalism to covering these incidents. I work with student reporters who gather facts and tell stories about abuses against free speech as well as religious and academic freedom.
At some point, I lost count of how many incidents we’ve documented. Earlier this year, however, we began to compile them systematically — and today The College Fix releases the Campus Cancel Culture Database.
The detailed repository of information lists more than 650 successful cancelations. They include everything from statues hauled off campuses to renamed buildings to memory-holed mascots. The database also cites more than 750 attempted cancelations.
We define cancel culture as any effort by people or groups to identify someone or something as offensive or unacceptable and seek in some way to censor or punish the transgressor or item."
