Just days later, McElroy’s tenure offer unraveled after the university buckled under backlash from Texas Scorecard, a conservative website, and an unspecified group of individuals close to the university who opposed her previous diversity initiatives. A new state law will limit that and the discussion of race and inclusion on college campuses next year.

      That’s a terrible thing to say. Silencing those with opposing viewpoints is not a good path to take.

        Paradox of tolerance

        Those who wish to oppress others must themselves be oppressed, else they’ll take over society.

        I’m good with silencing people who promote violence and hate.

        Also, you replied to a post that was critical of conservatives silencing opposing viewpoints.

        Silencing oppressor groups is almost always a good path to take. Not all viewpoints are valid or worthy of protection.
