US universities overrun with woke censorship: Brendan O’Neill

US universities are “overrun” with woke censorship, the Chief Political Reporter of Spiked Online Brendan O’Neill has argued. Mr O’Neill’s comments come as Harvard University’s president Claudine Gay stepped down over plagiarism accusations and criticism over testimony at a congressional hearing. In the hearing, Ms Gay was unable to say unequivocally that calls on campus for the genocide of Jews would violate the school's conduct policy. “Universities in America are overrun with woke censorship,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News Australia Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus while discussing Ms Gay’s comments at the hearing. “If you call a trans woman a man, you’ll be cancelled; if you criticise any matter of the Black Lives Matter ideology, you’ll be cancelled. “Yet if you call for the destruction of every Jewish person on earth, apparently that’s a free speech issue - that’s something you’re allowed to do. “Once again, we see the staggering double standards of the so-called moral left.”
