Question Everything

"Universities in America now run actual “thought police” campus programs that encourage students to surreptitiously listen to private conversations and report “intolerance.” Students and faculty now face on-campus “show trials” for things like criticizing left-wing tyranny, abortion or transgenderism lunacy.
