Even if Emma’s accounts aren’t accurate doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I work at a university. I’m not a student. I feel the same pressures to conform. I have some progressive views but most of my views aren’t. I’m not asking my coworkers or supervisors to conform to my ideas but I get grief when I express mine. I’m always open to dialogue and learning, but I can assure you I am shut down, criticized, ostracized and stifled by the responses of my coworkers. I have chosen to self censor to preserve my sanity and job security. This is a reality and it’s still going on and I find nothing wrong with her article bringing it to light again. I have children in college right now who are experiencing the same thing as me. It’s real.
