This is bad , they shouldn’t have cancelled;

“ The U.S. Naval Academy is under fire after it invited — then uninvited — a distinguished expert on authoritarianism and fascism to give a lecture.

Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat is a professor of history and Italian Studies at New York University, where her bio says she “writes about fascism, authoritarianism, propaganda, and the threats these present to democracies around the world.”

@Jorro I can’t believe a military establishment buckled under such criticism. Is that how they’re going to handle
Themselves in war time?

@cjcrew it is unbelievable, isn’t it?

@Jorro I’m having trouble believing it. It also peeks my paranoia.

@cjcrew now everyone wants to be politically correct.

@Jorro Politically correct makes sense until they get ridiculous with it. I sometimes think they make a characature of it so we’ll stop demanding civility from them when they address others.
