@Suppressed, could you tell us more about your case? If it's not too personal.
@LauraTXNM I marked up a bulletin board that had been listed as open for comment, and the university "charged" me with a number of offenses, including "destruction of property", "disturbing the peace", etc. (I'd pointed out logical fallacies and inaccuracies on a liberal poster on the board.) They -- Soviet-style -- insisted on me declaring my guilt and giving a public apology. They threatened to report me to my department, and as a grad student on assistantship, this was a pretty serious thing. Fortunately, someone suggested I contact The Rutherford Institute, and they told me that this was a very common tactic used on campuses across the country, that they hear lots of these Stalinist tactics used by liberals, and that the best thing for me to do was not to let them scare me into a false confession.
Sure enough, one by one, they'd agree to drop a charge, if only I'd
___<insert concession here>___. I stuck to my guns, and finally got them to back down, in part because I had a witness supporting me against their lies.
The funny thing is, their PC assault failed -- the guy who'd witnessed this was a strident centrist, sure that the claims about Political Correctness and liberalism were overblown. But he got to witness first-hand how evil these people are, and he was no longer middle-of-the-road. ^-^ And as for me, it drove me to take a position at a newspaper that focused on free speech, which led to me later starting another newspaper dedicated to honest reporting and free speech. Still, it hurt my academic career, having to fight that and being on pins and needles while they roasted me.
This was decades ago. And it's far worse now.
