Just days later, McElroy’s tenure offer unraveled after the university buckled under backlash from Texas Scorecard, a conservative website, and an unspecified group of individuals close to the university who opposed her previous diversity initiatives. A new state law will limit that and the discussion of race and inclusion on college campuses next year.

      That’s a terrible thing to say. Silencing those with opposing viewpoints is not a good path to take.

        I’m good with silencing people who promote violence and hate.

        Also, you replied to a post that was critical of conservatives silencing opposing viewpoints.

        Silencing oppressor groups is almost always a good path to take. Not all viewpoints are valid or worthy of protection.
