Conclusion — The Cultural Revolution Is Here
Two years ago I wrote about The new Cultural Revolution on Campuses:

Content: An online effort materialized within hours, demanding Collum’s immediate firing. The campaign against Collum has been highly organized. It involved a Change.org petition, complaint letter templates and auto-complaint portals to flood the Cornell administration, contact information for Collum’s superiors and colleagues, suggestions that bias complaints be filed against Collum, and recommendations that Collum be contacted himself and told to resign. The graduate student organization which targeted Collum in 2017 has been involved. The Cornell Daily Sun, the student-run newspaper, stoked the targeting of Collum by running an article (comment section here) about the tweets that republished discredited accusations against Collum that first surfaced in 2017, and by issuing an Editorial (comment section here) demanding his firing. In that Editorial, those 2017 discredited accusations were repeated and adopted by the Sun Editorial Board as their own. The Sun also dragged me into the controversy even though I had nothing to do with Collum’s Buffalo tweets, by alerting the student body that I had addressed the old accusations against Collum in a 2017 letter to the editor of the Sun. The Sun then noted that “Jacobson, too, has his own history of running starkly against campus opinion, holding a generally dismissive view towards Black Lives Matter.” Got it? There’s another heretic on campus.
