Cancel Culture News

Cancel culture is sometimes mistaken as the central problem in the life of the West. This happens, I have noticed, more among our U.K. cousins than stateside.

Canada’s Trudeau administration said it will punish the truckers who participated in the anti-vaccine mandate “Freedom Convoy” by freezing their bank accounts.

On Feb. 14, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia…

The metastasis of the woke ideology, which seeps through our moribund body politic like a cancer, has shocked the conscience of many who still cling to the idea of America as a liberal bastion.

“What if Christian parents of children reading comic books don’t want their kids exposed to bisexual characters?” Sophia Nelson thought it was a reasonable question in the wake of DC Comics’ announcement that Superman’s son, Jon Kent, would have a pink-haired boyfriend in an upcoming comic. Nelson, a scholar-in-residence at Christopher Newport University in Virginia…

Cancel culture is endemic on college campuses. Every day come stories of professors, speakers, and students who run afoul of the radical left and suffer the consequences. With the frequency of these incidents, it can be difficult to keep track. The College Fix, the news site dedicated to providing a conservative perspective on news from…

Cancel culture has reared its ugly head once again, and this time in a new and unprecedented way. A lecture by a physicist was canceled at one of America’s premier institutions of science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for reasons having nothing to do with the subject of the lecture.

The word “knitting” normally evokes quaint images of grandma sitting in her rocking chair by the fireplace, needles and yarn in hand, as she makes a pair of mittens for her grandchildren to wear while they play in the snow. Less likely are images of self-appointed social justice warriors demanding fealty to a cause as…

Amid the debates over Big Tech companies and censorship, a new social media platform has emerged to champion free speech.

As a black conservative for more than 40 years, I’m an expert on being canceled. I was canceled by the political left long before cancel culture was all the rage.

A mounting discontent with “cancel culture” is emerging, even in some liberal circles. On a recent episode of “Real Time,” host Bill Maher dedicated a monologue to the cancel culture phenomenon.

Amid the current hysteria of toppling statues and renaming things, we keep mindlessly expanding the cancel culture. We are now seeing efforts to ban classics of Western and American literature. These hallowed texts are suddenly being declared racist or sexist by preening moralists. Or, as one Massachusetts high school teacher recently boasted on social media,…

Seeing the rise of “cancel culture” can lead one to despair. But don’t believe the hype. Virtue is not being canceled.
