From the perspective of the "anti -canceling culture" camp, American education is now defective.After the Harbin conflict occurred, there was a voice of Israel and anti -Semitic voices on the college campus. The president of the three universities named the freedom of speech at the hearing.Strongly feel that liberalism has been severely abused on campus.
"Cancel Culture" has spread in many places in the world due to social problems such as polarization, illegal immigrants, and disparity between the rich and the poor in recent years.The conflict with Hamas since the beginning of October has also brought a new round of cancellation of cultural waves.The cancellation of cultural conflicts derived from anti -Semitism in the United States has also been extended in the local education community. It has caused the United States to continue to worsen the movement of cultural problems since Trump's entry into the White House, which has attracted more attention.
Harbin conflict caused the edge of the tearing of American society, and the pro -Israel and the Palestinian camp were seriously opposed from Congress, the streets to the school, and the conflict continued.Earlier this month, the Congress of the three Ivy League schools brought this opposition to a climax.In the face of the Republican Republican members' questions on whether "calling for racial extinction against Jews violated your policy", Harvard President Claudine Gay, Pennsylvana President Liz Magill and President of Massachusetts Polytechnic UniversitySally Kornbluth was strongly criticized for repeated emphasis on "depending on the situation".
The reason why this hearing for campus anti -Semitism is considered to reflect the newly canceled cultural conflict that reflects the increasingly increasing United States. It is mainly due to subsequent development.The 74 people from the two -party members jointly wrote to the board of directors of the three universities, requiring the presidents of the three universities to resign or dismiss them, and even the Bayeng government also criticized the remarks of the three principals at the hearing.But among these criticisms, the most important thing is Harvard President Gay.She is the first black principal in Harvard's history. She has only been in office this year, but has been controversial, including her qualifications, prestige and academic achievements.But the most sharp criticism for her is that her appointment is the product of the higher education institutions to manipulate "identity politics", saying that Harvard is only because Gay is a woman and a black man.Go to the principal's throne.
Cancellation of culture and "identity politics" are inseparable from relationships. So far, the cause and effect relationship between the two have been blurred.The example of Gayi just reflects the conservative or populist in the United States. It is still governing his body in his way to recover the liberal or left progressive camp of the cultural stick.After Trump entered the White House, the cancellation of the cultural stick for a long time was led by the liberal or left progress camp. They were very disgusted with Trump's anti -immigrant and anti -elite, and strongly supported the diversity and inclusiveness.So that in the campus camps, those who do not meet the correct political and research projects will be rejected or even expelled.
After Bynden defeated Trump as the president, the Liberal or left camp was greatly encouraged in the university. From defending diversity and tolerance, it further evolved to adhere to the identity of groups, gender, and sexual orientation.These identities are considered an important factor in understanding human beings. Those who question or discriminate against these identities are "non -ethnic groups" and must launch public opinion to compete. Any research project that is not conducive to these identity should not be approved.Carry out.
The school style that cancels culture, of course, causes dissatisfaction and rebound of conservatives or populist rightists.Before Gay was criticized, the rebound sound was scattered from time to time in conservative scholars, and recently, the Republican helm's states were shot to rectify campus management.Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff in 2018, The Coddling of the American Mind, believes that "moral relativeism" is undermining college style and is positive for the academic community to the academic community.Extract the degradation effect.Florida and Texas have withdrawn from funding for high education diversification, fairness and inclusive initiative this year.The Governor of Florida, also the Republican presidential candidate De Santis, also took over the Florida New College, replaced the board with allies, and prompted one third of faculty to leave.
From the perspective of the "anti -canceling culture" camp, American education is now defective, including emotional securityism preferential education; ideological orthodox concepts and self -examination systems are stifling free debate; excessive emphasis on diversity and diversity andTolerance sacrifice academic rigor.If these defects are not corrected, graduates may not be able to prepare for real life.In addition, the irritation of students' liberalism also plagues this camp.After the Harbin conflict occurred, there was a voice of Israel and anti -Semitic voices on the college campus. The president of the three universities named the freedom of speech at the hearing.Strongly feel that liberalism has been severely abused on campus.
In fact, even in the middle school in the United States, I am deeply worried about the current situation of cancellation of cultural conflict with the discharge of cultural conflicts.The new book identity trap of John Hopkins University, Professor of Political Science.That is, society will always be defined by the division of different identity groups. Compared with the claims of the right to maintain the "white" identity of the opposing camp, it does not actually have the advantages of moral high.The use of cancellation of cultural eliminations on campus has not given ethnic minorities any improvement and advantages.In June, the US Supreme Court actually ended equal rights and banned universities from considering racial factors when enrollment. For progressive clubs, it was a police number.
The worries expressed by the identity trap author are not targeted.The impact of the cancellation of culture on campus is becoming increasingly significant, and the triggering resistance counterattack is naturally increasing.According to the data of the personal rights and the expression of the Foundation, 16%of the professors who were investigated were stated that they had been punished or threatened by lectures, teaching or academic research. 7%of the professors said that they had been investigated as much as 29.%Of the respondents said that they were under pressure from managers to avoid controversial research.As the presidential election approaches, whether the campus cancellation of cultural conflicts will affect the election situation, and it will also become the focus of attention from all walks of life.
