    Never Apologize to the Mob

    "What once was the start of healthy debate is now just as often a catalyst for personal and professional destruction. “The mob” is out to cancel anyone who crosses it. Paris Dennard describes the problem and offers a solution.'

    He equates cancellation with fear tactics.

    I like the way he said "conservatives and liberals need to unite against the Left." I also agree that it's wrong to apoligize for exercising your constitutional right to free speech.

    He's right that "money talks." We need to get together as defenders of the Constitution and boycott companies that cave to cancel culture.

    Here's a positive tale. The students of Skidmore College demanded a professor be fired because he observed a pro-police rally.

    Skidmore said NO.

    “The Associate Dean of the Faculty who has overseen the investigation has informed me that the administration will not be recommending any sanctions against me,” Peterson (above) wrote in an email, referring to Janet Casey. Two days later, he had been cleared.

    Someone famous and wise ( a rare combination) once said: "I never learned anything in a room where everyone agreed with me" Truer words never spoken.

    The first step is to reform the colleges, They are producing fanatics and this is very dangerous to all of us.
