Great article. The temptation to succumb to the pressures from the left's squeaky wheel are great, but having a consistent and objective moral standard makes it a lot easier. It is harder for an institution that "tends" to a particular political and moral bent than it is for one that has that morality written into its charter to maintain the course. All the same, leaders of such organizations need to remember that the ones making all the fuss are not always the majority.
Love the analogies. When leaders react to their loudest critics rather than their loyal constituents, the results can be spectacularly embarrassing (Bud Light, Target, Disney) or do serious harm to our institutions (woke military recruiting for certain—and potentially universities). Once someone walks away, it will be very difficult to bring them back.
Excellent analysis. I believe you are spot on. Wherever you send a student to matriculate; DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! Big State U is a den (or at least has a den) of vipers seeking to steal kill and destroy the human you have spent 18+ years creating. If you are blinded by allegiance and zeal, you are easier prey. Your child will need their full armor.
