Skidmore student claims 'cancel culture campaign' prevented formation of conservative club
Fox News
A student at Skidmore College in upstate New York claims she and her fellow classmates were barred from starting a campus chapter of the conservative group Young Americans for Liberty.
Davis says she and her classmate were targets of a "cancel culture campaign" in which members of the student body created a petition claiming that YAL groups were "springboards for hate speech and bigotry disguised as political discourse." As of Wednesday, the petition had 1,765 signatures. Skidmore has approximately 2,600 undergraduate students. As a result, the Albany Times Union newspaper reported, the Skidmore Student Government Association told Davis she could not establish a YAL chapter due to "concerns of hate speech and making students on campus feel unsafe."More Related News
