Response of a 'non-woke' academic
I can understand the mixed emotions one can have on exiting a job after twenty years, as the profession is close to one's heart. I also had a choice when it came to my study thesis at Master's Level - The topic was: 'Are Qualifications Worth the paper they are written on' (or words to that effect). One can see the dilemma... I chose not  to present my study findings and forfeited my over-all goal and attainment. (However, I still kept a couple of copies of the thesis to remind me of the potential hypocrisy I would have been facing now, if I had submitted it in it's final format.

The purpose of teaching is to impart information that is non-bias whereby the student can formulate their own conclusions through research and debate and to make an argument considering the pros and cons of both sides of the argument hence the hypothesis format. Where is this today?

Cancel culture in terms of education is the 'lazy way' for one to meet one's objectives, (if one can?) this is through no contact for opinion and debate and only one opinion accounts, whether it is considered right or wrong. This use to be associated with the far right, however the pendulum has definitely swung to the far left it seems.

The following dictionary definitions:
                                                            "extremely authoritarian, intolerant, or oppressive ideas or behaviour:      "an outright ban is just fascism"

                                                             very intolerant or domineering views or practices in a particular area:
                                                             "this is yet another example of health fascism in action"

Words of Association: authoritarianism: totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy, Nazism, rightism, militarism, nationalism, xenophobia
                                    racism, anti-Semitism, neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, corporativism, corporatism, Hitlerism, Francoism, Falangism…

Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs. See also Marxism.
