By associating cancel culture with mob behavior, or dictatorial attempts at thought control, critics of cancel culture use lofty ideals like “freedom of speech” to conceal and distract from the promotion of hatred—that historically has resulted in actual mob violence like lynchings.

Keon’s decision to unleash a racist trope at a moment of celebration for students and their families—including Asian students and their families—makes it plain that he is unfit to lead an educational institution, and the milquetoast response of the PNW Board of Trustees makes it plain that they don’t get it.

While it’s an easy rebuttal to point out that the real challenges of separating a child from her mother in the adoption process are preferable to taking the child’s life, those challenges do present compelling problems with the growing practice of elective surrogacy, which is often touted as a means for men who are not married to women to obtain babies.
