FIRE literally counts them and has to overcategorize (i.e. equate students protesting with actually cancelling a speaker's appearance) because there are so few.
I noticed this too when scrolling through their database. They also treat equally a single student complaint that led to no action with a student complaint that led to a professor's dismissal. That's like saying a random tweet is as harmful as legislation passed and enforced.

I mean, you don't need my permission to comment on whatever you like.
I'm just pointing out that if there's any "moving backwards" as you cite, it's not coming from the younger generation, regardless of any intolerance they might or might not have.
Overall I think they're likely more tolerant. But those on the edges also seem to be more aggressive when trying to eliminate opposition ideas and speech.
I edited my post, so I'll submit, but I'll only add that I guarantee you that these legal orgs have young lawyers and recent grads foaming at the mouth to do this stuff.
Just take a look at The Federalist Society in law schools. The difference from even ten years ago is pretty jarring

That might be true, but it doesn't really address the topic of this thread, about the younger generation. I don't believe it's the younger generation that's putting court cases in front of SCOTUS and other circuits.
Are we not permitted to respond to individual posts and address the specific claims made within?
actually, upon re-reading the comment, I think this is a valid criticism. mea culpa

Where is the evidence that this generation is more intolerant compared to prior generations? When I was in high school, if you came out as gay, you were ostracized. We’ve come a long, long way since then.
Sure. But the same folks behind this incident are also actively working to get cases in front of SCOTUS to overturn Obergfell.
Also, go read the dissent in Lawrence v Texas and try to argue that that's not the current majority opinion of the court should a case be brought.
It's going backwards.

You don’t want to make it political but you write crap like this. You seem to be part of the problem.
How is that post political?

He's Maga. He's not smart. Somehow he fucking got into West Point. He's now a shitty congressman in a shitty district in Houston (yes mine), and He's making a play at running for Senator. Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That felt good.
Fuck him and his affinity for mushroom flavored, spray tained orange dicks.
Also a St John's graduate. But I'm sure admission into both had nothing to do with race during the heyday of affirmative action.

Cool.
Please provide the proof that the boat blasted was drug runners. And that everyone on board was Venezuelan.
Just executing the fuck out of people without an actual adjudication that they are committing a crime is....a problem for societies that have this thing called "the Rule of Law." These are not combatants, attacking or conducting preparations for an attack on the US. They are - even if the accusation is true - just criminals transporting drugs.
Do we get to blast any suspected "drug dealers" in US waters? On US streets? When RFK Jr. was dealing drugs in college, would it have been okay to have hit him with a Hellfire missile? What about that guy who someone just accuses of dealing drugs, but really, the accusation is a lie?
You're asking these questions in an attempt to highlight the absurdity of the logical extreme.
The answer to all of your questions from our resident libertarians and constitutionalists is "yes."

Hard to see how this doesn't trickle down to essentially overturn Terry and allow detentions of all persons based on a hunch.

I'm sure it just a coincidence that the covid death rate was higher in red states that thumbed their noses at the federal government. Pure coincidence.
But probably has something to do with all those dense urban areas in the deep south and West Virginia

You made us wear a facemask during a global pandemic that killed millions so the only logical answer is to elect a conspiracy theory peddling drug addict with no medical experience to oversee the HHS, slash funding to all medical research, drive medical innovation out of the country, undoe decades of solid research on vaccines, peddle dangerous misinformation about communicable diseases and mental health medication, and attack vaccines as the cause of autism.
I guess it kinda makes sense.

I don't disagree with any of that. Molly Ivins wrote about it when she characerized Dallas as "Boosterville" (she wasn't being complimentary). Historically, Dallas is a great city in large part because it has the regional Federal Reserve Bank. And it has that entirely because it out-hustled everyone else (primarily Houston, but also New Orleans) just before WWI.
But a lot of the shit Dallas has gotten done (or tried to get done) has been dumb, stupid, ill-advised, or outright wicked. In the former group is the stupid-ass standing wave in the Trinity River; in the latter group is the stupid golf course in the middle of the Great Trinity Forest.
Still--the biggest thing I will say is that Dallas has real, legitimate philanthropists. It has people who pay hundreds of millions of dollars to put their name on parks, museums, hospitals, theaters and other things build and dedicated to the public good. Austin has none of that. It's not that Austin doesn't have plenty of rich people; a quick drive along Highway 360 on a Saturday afternoon will disabuse you of that notion. It's that hte rich people in Austin--with the sole exception of Michael Dell--don't have a philanthropic bone in their bodies. There's no Perot Museum here; there's no Winspear Opera House or Meyerson Symphony Center; there's no Klyde Warren Deck Park. And that is to this city's very great detriment.
Great point. Houston is similar in that it has the Fertita's lovely Aquarium, Mattress Mack's bi-annual "gamble on an end table" promotion, and . . . uh....

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
in Daily Texan
Posted
sorry to cherry pick, but I can't let this go.
Cancel Culture was a right-wing thing LONG before it became a left wing thing.
What was anti-gay legislation and criminalizing same sex relationships?
What was McCarthyism?
What was the reaction to the labor movement and the suffragette movement in the early 20th century?
What was the reaction to the Dixie Chicks 25 years ago?
The right-side, throughout history, has used pressure, social stigmatization, legislation, and even imprisonment to "cancel" anyone who questioned the prevailing societal norms of the time.
