In the category of ‘you just can’t make these things up’, NYU students tried to cancel their commencement speaker, NYU Professor Jonathan Haidt, for being critical of cancel culture.

For the record, in contrast to our northern neighbors, when UNC AFSA hosted Professor Haidt in Chapel Hill, he was warmly welcomed with Southern Hospitality by a large crowd of students, faculty, and administrators. Watch his remarks here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7hnX-e-i4k
