Survey: University of Wisconsin conservative students say they've felt political pressure in class | WBAP Radio Dallas, TX | 4/7/23
WBAP recently asked Matt Bennett to come on the air in Dallas, TX to discuss the increasingly hostile environment on college campuses towards conservative views. Universities across the nation have been inundated with reports of conservative students being shouted down or even facing physical violence for expressing their opinions on various topics. Bennett reveals that students can even self-censor, staying silent in fear of being shamed and ostracized by their peers.
The conversation notes that the hostility towards conservative views is particularly prevalent in the humanities, with professors and students afraid to speak out on their own views as they fear the inevitable backlash. Bennett notes that this has been a growing trend over the years but is particularly worse these days.
Opinions and free speech are critical to healthy academic exchange and should be protected at all costs except when they incite physical violence. Bennett adds that the atmosphere in higher education is crucial, and all types of views should be considered to lead to a healthy exchange of ideas.
The interview highlights how essential it is to have an environment in higher education where everyone can speak. The academic exchange must occur without the fear of backlash or censorship.
