I agree with you. Universities are supposed to be a protected place where all ideas can be discussed in a respectful manner. Though, a certain 'cancel culture' is changing that. Many people are afraid that their comments are taken out of context or misinterpreted.I’m going to defend this, University is meant to be a place where people swop ideas and debate even issues that seem distasteful and controversial to us. Also it’s meant to encourage people to learn rhetoric and public speaking. The purpose of something like a union debate isn’t meant to be a declarative statement of what the university body thinks but who argued better at the debate.
What actually happened with the vote and the picture removal seems a bit garbled, but to me, the aim should be to table a more convincing motion for the portrait to stay there next meeting rather than saying that this man has no right to suggest it.
what I object to is when universities minimise teaching time and become a hive mind of regurgitating their lectures of acceptable opinion to keep the degree factory in business.
I’d also say lots of people were saying way worse things about the royals in unis of the 70s and 80s - it’s definitely not a new debate
The couple keeps courting controversy and hogging the limelight. But do you think the situation is exacerbated because Methane is American and the US press is therefore particularly fixated on her?Here’s another example of why I hate how fixated the US press is on Harry and Meghan. CNN interviewed Edward, supposedly about his father’s Duke of Edinburgh's Award. In reality CNN made the first half of the story about Meghan and Harry. Eventually they get around to the actual topic. I wonder if Edward felt a bit blindsided.

I would not be surprised if it is true that they shopped hospitals. As a former Californian I can tell you that normal rules do NOT apply to celebraties.
