And this great essay, not that anyone will actually read it, outlines the journey of young progressive academic Colin Wright who was hounded for refusing to mouth the party line about biology. Cancel culture is real. Once a science educator who would argue with Creationists over their fantasy -land ideas of “science” Colin became ostracized by his peers.

I did read it. He has a valid point for sure. My favorite environmental writers, Derrick Jensen and Lierre Kieth have had their speaking engagements ripped from under their feet for similar reasons, so they have been effectively "cancelled."
