DAILY MAIL : QUARTER COLLEGE STUDENTS SELF CENSOR DUE TO WOKE CULTURE ON CAMPUS by Max Aitchison for the Mail on Sunday (Daily Mail UK)
This was going on when I was in college and I felt as if I was being indoctrinated rather than being taught to think for myself or rely on my own experiences, I can only imagine how horrible it must be for creative writing students there today. I felt like I was going to a religious school rather than a university with government funding. The notion that you could only get away with creating characters whose ethnicity, race, religion, sexuality, or values were yours was strong. The notion that there is no such thing as fiction or imagination really - that cut creativity.
Excerpt: In the latest evidence of the free speech crisis engulfing campuses across the country, 27 percent of students said they have actively 'hidden' their opinions when they are at odds with those of their peers and tutors.
More than half of those who 'self-censored' did so because of their political views A further 40 percent withheld their opinions on ethical or religious matters for fear of being judged.
