Looks like no concerts for my family at the Segerstrom Performing Art Center. I saw the Nutcracker with my wife two years ago when everyone had freedom. My wife just got email notification that if you want to go to a concert, you need Vax Proof. They say No vax, No entry to our concert hall, unless you have a very good religious reason not to get jabbed and can prove you don;t have Covid upon entering. ALL VAXED & RELIGOUS NUT JOBS MUST WEAR A MASK, REGARDLESS.
A cure?

Not the least bit surprising. The failure to balance reporting and the slow move toward "advocacy journalism" fueled the rise of Foxnews. The direction of higher education appears to be doing the same thing here. It will be interesting where this goes. I have to say, their timing is spot on.

"Trigger warnings. Safe spaces. Preferred pronouns. Checked privileges. Microaggressions. Antiracism. All these terms are routinely deployed on campuses throughout the English-speaking world as part of a sustained campaign to impose ideological conformity in the name of diversity," Ferguson wrote. "As a result, it often feels as if there is less free speech and free thought in the American university today than in almost any other institution in the U.S."
Controversial figures like Bari Weiss are launching a university they say will pursue 'truth' and combat 'censorship' from top universities
"We are alarmed by the illiberalism and censoriousness prevalent in America's most prestigious universities," the University of Austin's website says.

Who said it’s a conspiracy?
The peer review process in the humanities leads to conformity. That conformity isn’t healthy for the Academy, and there a pushback.
Logically, sociologists ought to be writing papers and teaching classes which compare the religious conformity of 1600-1800 academic institutions to the political conformity of modern academic institutions. It‘s a reasonable comparison: Harvard’s sociology department is not going to promote a conservative, in the same way that Harvard’s divinity school in 1670 was not going to hire a rabbi.
But, if you want sociologists who are capable of talking about that comparison, you aren’t going to find them within the current structure.
The question is whether they can succeed at creating a genuinely open model. Worst case, they create yet one more heavily partisan institution like Fox News or university sociology departments.
