A Letter to the Editor From Pauline Estelle

The Editor | Jul 11, 2022 | Reply

Our Contributor Pauline Estelle learned of an incident that took place at a Canadian university in 2017. A university psychology professor was set to appear on a panel with three others to talk about political correctness. Due to the reputation of the professor as a conservative who is the antithesis of progressive thought the other panel members dropped out. The professor went on alone and was eventually shouted off the stage by the students. This got Pauline Estelle riled up. We agree that shouting someone off stage is not good, you also have to consider the reputation of the man they shouted down.
