JOHN KASS: Northwestern University, the cancel culture and ‘Whatsoever things are true.’ “We’re told this is a great teaching moment for the students. But I see it as a teaching moment for the rest of us, a teaching moment to rub our noses in what adults have allowed to happen at high schools and at universities, where feelings count, where students must not be intellectually challenged lest they become ‘triggered’ and upset, where the teaching of mathematics is twined with social justice warrior rhetoric. And, where students have been taught to cravenly craft opinions to satisfy the political views of faculty.”

Empowering a bunch of noisy neurotics is no formula for a successful institution or society.
