Thank you, Monica, for your strong words. I heartily agree.

My question is, where do we go from here? I doubt that the university administration will heed any recommendations by anyone.
What can be done to actually make change? Aside from scrapping the idea of attending, or defunding the universities at this point it seems like beginning afresh with a whole new structure such as UTA has done is a start?
In some ways it seems like overkill. How could this insane university attitude be reworked to instill security, and heterodox society and culture within?
I've been wondering the same. It is terrifying seeing the extremism coming out of today's western Universities. How can we not compare it to Germany pre WWII? And, to make matters worse, our (both Canada & US) K-12 schools are a huge part of the issue. Many young people are learning about 'social justice' there and are already infected with the 'woke mind virus' (credit to the awesome Gad Saad) even before entering University.
That being said, there is an easy solution but today's administrators are lacking the necessary courage to execute it. As soon as any student tries to shut down a professor or guest speaker, they need to be suspended. Good viewpoints will win out in the marketplace of ideas. And, bring back proper debate clubs.
