(THE COLLEGE FIX) – Campus cancel culture continued unbated over the last 12 months, with 78 successful cancelations in 2023, including the removal of a plaque dedicated to Gen. Robert E. Lee’s horse, a professor fired after teaching sex is defined by chromosomes, and a college that ended its use of the word “field” to promote inclusivity.
The incidents are chronicled on The College Fix’s exclusive Campus Cancel Culture Database, which tracks targeting and suppression efforts in higher education.
The database defines cancel culture as any effort by people or groups to identify someone or something as offensive or unacceptable and seek in some way to censor or punish the transgressor or item. It tracks both successful cancelations as well as attempted efforts, which can still have a chilling effect on freedom of thought.
