Opinion | How Liberal Campuses Are Pushing Freethinking Students to the Right – The New York Times

But for the conservative college student, life is punctuated by political checkpoints. Classes may begin with requests for preferred pronouns or land acknowledgments. A student who jokes about the wrong subject might face social punishment. All students should welcome challenges to their most cherished beliefs, but from what I ve seen on campus, students are not invited to debate; they are expected to conform.

And those who challenge liberal pieties can face real repercussions. Because a Princeton student defended an unpopular opinion about policing in a private conversation, she was pushed out of her leadership position on a sports team. At Stanford, students who experience harm because of who they are and how they show up in the world can anonymously report classmates to the university, a policy that some faculty members say threatens free speech.
