BPC Project Director Jacqueline Pfeffer Merrill participated in a panel discussion with Dr. Sigal Ben-Porath and Greg Lukianoff that was co-hosted by the Program for Public Discourse and the Institute of Politics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Heard on the panel: “A fear of cancel culture is what’s behind that self-censorship. People don’t know where the boundaries are, and they’re worried that if they try out an idea even tentatively that they are going to be cast out as people who hold opinions and beliefs that are incompatible with social norms.”
