I’m not going to say that college students have it all figured out, or are all perfect. They’re struggling with the present moment just like the rest of us.

But folks, I simply cannot express to you strongly enough how wildly popular press descriptions of college campuses fail to match my own experiences. These bullshit “cancel culture” screeds read to me like Orientalist Europeans describing foreign cultures. They’re just embarrassing.

Every time I have heard about cancel culture, without fail, one or both of these things is true:

1) The incident is vastly exaggerated in both scale and vitriol.

2) The person claiming to be "cancelled" has omitted important facts about the incident, most commonly what the protestors' grievance actually was.

You're going to have to actually tell us what you're talking about. Especially since the only Google hit on that is a documentary that's widely available and seems to have done quite well on the festival circuit. I'm sure it was controversial, hard to see how it couldn't be, but it seems to have done fairly well.
