Thaddeus McCotter has a great, insightful piece at American Greatness He makes an excellent point as to what the end game for “cancel culture” really is.
In the lust to destroy free speech (as well as other God-given rights recognized in the United States Constitution they find “problematic”), the Left has systematically implemented a Maoist strategy of indoctrination, disinformation, and weaponization of race, gender, and sundry “isms” to turn America into a college campus, wherein those projecting totalitarian, iron-fisted rule brook no dissent (or wisdom)
It begins with a perverse inversion of how human beings traditionally have categorized and addressed issues based upon an individual’s age and/or maturity. The Left indoctrinates with their secular religion on matters such as race and gender throughout the educational process, even including kindergartners in many school districts. Foisting such indoctrination and decisions—and often deliberately hiding it from the child’s parents—is despicable, and deliberately done to destroy the children’s innocence.
Absolutely correct, but, hey lots of folks have pointed these things out, so, why is this piece albeit correct, so different? Ob serve what Mr McCotter sees
The Left’s insidious twist, however, is that their higher education is not designed to foster critical thinking, maturity, and independence. Having treated children as adults to begin their brainwashing, they now treat college students as children to stunt their emotional development. It is a toxic brew of inculcated ignorance, intolerance, and irrationality that spawns intellectual cowards. As a friend observes, the result is that Leftist academics “are raising a generation that is unwilling to and/or incapable of defending their ‘ideas’ or to engage in critical thinking.”
That is spot on
