The stories of illiberal and repressive forces on campuses nationwide are seemingly unending. Mob-style cancel culture and violent protests at American universities are no longer exceptional. Professors and students are now regularly threatened with cancellation and expulsion. And notably, these attempts to silence discourse and disagreement often involve liberal students and activist groups attacking conservative ideas and speakers.

Pushback against this self-censorship and repression has begun. In the fight to correct our system of higher education and the liberal machine that has infected our collegiate institutions, it is critical to recognize that our students are actually not monolithically left of center and remain open-minded. The primary source of the problems today are instead activist administrators, who see their missions on campus as political. Their dangerous and small-minded behavior must be held accountable for creating the current campus climate and then rolled back.
