NYU Psychology Professor: College Administrators “won’t stand up to” Heckler’s Veto and Disruptive Protesters
April 6, 2017, Spencer Irvine, 1 Comment
Even lifelong men and women on the Left are becoming concerned about the oppressive political climate on American college campuses. Jonathan Haidt, a psychologist and professor of ethical leadership at the New York University’s Stern School of Business, spoke about the roots of campus rage in light of the mob and “heckler’s veto” at Middlebury College and University of California-Berkeley. The Wall Street Journal published the interview, conducted by Bari Weiss, entitled, “The Cultural Roots of Campus Rage.”
Haidt warned about this “new religion” of “true believers” in ideology. These believers “have reoriented their lives around the fight against evil,” Haidt said, and these believers are “very intimidating.” So much so, “they’ve been given the heckler’s veto, and are often granted it by an administration who won’t stand up to them either.”
