    Yes

    And just like if the GOP wants people to stop the split ticket voting and the like, they need to disavow MAGA extremists, the Democratic party needs to "sister souljah' those 'progressives'. 2022 elections results clearly said: American voters overall don't want extremists.

FIRE’s study reveals that today, one in four faculty members are doing the same.

This has created a truly chilling effect on learning and innovation on campuses nationwide.

    The data show that a third of faculty (34 percent) reported that they self-censor on campus “fairly” or “very” often—a number notably higher than the one-fifth (21 percent) of students who said they felt this way in FIRE’s 2022 national student survey.
