Tweet About Superman’s Bisexual Son Has Professor Fighting Against #CancelCulture:
“I asked a question about a comic book character. Nobody thought my tweet was hateful. I did not get put in the jail by Twitter. I did not get my tweet flagged.”

LISTEN dailysignal.com/2021/11/08/twe…
I reacted to @DCComics as did, by the way, millions of people on Twitter had the same reaction I did, which is, first, “Wait a minute. What?” Then the second thing I asked was, “OK, how do Christian parents tell their kids about this?
I didn’t expect a group of LGBTQ+ professors, and one professor in particular who declares as bisexual, to take offense at bring my tweet from the public domain, my free speech, my protected speech into the university sphere, and began an assault on me and on my career.
For the past month Students @CNUcaptains petitioned, professors protested, and the university’s president—a former Republican U.S. senator from Virginia—acquiesced to the pressure rather than defending Nelson as the schools first black female scholar in residence. ##

My thoughts on the new #UniversityofAustin
1.) I get why people are concerned about what's happening in academia. I am too.
2.) I am not sure starting a new school is the answer
3.) the answer is for good people to come together and TALK about #DEI. #cancelculture #University 1/
The reason there is such a backlash is because people do not know how to talk about race, racism, and the intersections with gender and sexuality in America. So, instead they go on the attack. They demean. They harass. They marginalize. They deny reality. #CancelCulture 2/
American universities cannot become a place where the "diversity statement" runs the community. It has to be one of the spokes in the wheel that makes a university an open, free, welcoming, healthy space for academic freedom and discourse for ALL. 3/
