While speaking at the Family Leader’s Presidential Forum in Des Moines, Iowa, Ted Cruz had some brief but strong words about some of the student protests.
As the Hill reported, many of the candidates touched upon “political correctness.” Speaking to that, Cruz offered that, “The best answer to political correctness is speaking the truth.”
On the issue of political correctness on campuses, Cruz blamed the left-wing students:
We’re seeing universities all across this country with leftist, coddled kids — usually with trust funds — protesting against a horrible aggression, because the micro-aggression (of) ‘I heard a word that scared me.’ What is wrong with our universities? The answer to all of this is truth.
Cruz does have a point. Jonathan Butler, for instance, the graduate student at University of Missouri who led a hunger strike there, comes from a family of wealth. Keely Mullen, the free college leader who was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on his Fox Business program, does as well.
