The app for independent voices

Excellent op-ed in the WSJ by Ben Appel

I believe colleges and universities must implement reforms that restore genuine intellectual balance — curricula that present a range of viewpoints rather than a single ideological framework. But I also find myself wondering whether these institutions, in their zeal to impose Critical Social Justice orthodoxy — Queer Theory included — inadvertently undermined their own project. By subjecting entire generations of students to its premises without consent or counterargument, they may have produced something they didn’t intend: graduates with a firsthand, visceral understanding of exactly why these ideas fail. We didn’t read the critiques. We lived the experiment.
