But I come bearing good news: it\u2019s a tyranny of the minority. We\u2019re not nearly as awful as our squeakiest wheels might suggest.<\/p>\n<p>I know that as a Zoomer myself \u2013 but also thanks to survey data that shows that Gen Z actually has the\u00a0<i>most negative<\/i>\u00a0view of cancel culture of any generation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/boomers-right-5-things-about-adulting-no-one-wants-you-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BOOMERS WERE RIGHT! 5 THINGS ABOUT ADULTING NO ONE WANTS YOU TO KNOW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to a\u00a0Morning Consult survey, although younger Americans tend to have a more positive view of cancel culture, with Millennials being the most pro-cancel culture generation, Zoomers reverse that trend entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Just 8% of Gen Zers born between 1997 and 2008 say they have a positive view of cancel culture, while a whopping 55% have a negative view.<\/p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is, when it comes to young people and cancel culture, it\u2019s a true tyranny of the minority \u2013 and most of us are entirely fed up with dodging the PC tripwire.<\/p>\n<p>I know this firsthand. When I was a 21-year-old NYU student, I decided to\u00a0write an op-ed\u00a0about the crisis of free speech on campus in the New York Post. I braced for the mob to come for me.<\/p>\n<p>While I did weather some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/former-mumford-sons-musician-speaks-out-professional-punishment-artists-alice-cooper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blowback on social media<\/a> and lost a few friends, I was shocked to find that, even at my ultra-progressive campus, the response from the vast majority of community members was overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n<p>I was heartened to see how many people came out of the woodwork to support me, from former dorm room neighbors to classmates to professors and even deans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/disturbing-gen-z-social-media-trend-threatens-america-most-important-institution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>A DISTURBING GEN Z SOCIAL MEDIA TREND THREATENS AMERICA&#8217;S MOST IMPORTANT INSTITUTION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most of the conversations followed a similar trajectory: &#8220;Thanks for speaking out. I totally agree with you \u2013 but just please don\u2019t tell anyone we had this conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Surveys show that\u00a0the majority of students self-censor on campus and fear that they may damage their reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If young people are sitting on their hands and biting their tongues, they may never realize that like-minded, intellectually curious peers are all around them.<\/p>\n<p>Cancel culture thrives by making everyone feel alone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/decoding-gen-z-simp-stan-lingo-kids-using-need-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Young people are too afraid<\/a> to stick their necks out there and take a risk \u2013 and understandably so.

We\u2019re desperate for a shift away from condemnation and toward forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Unless we want to raise a generation of citizens who live in perpetual fear of being burned at the stake for saying or doing the wrong thing,\u00a0we must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/cancel-culture-getting-canceled-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cancel cancel culture<\/a> once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>We need to give people, and especially young people, the freedom to fumble \u2013 and to learn from mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to extend some grace and embrace forgiveness so that more young people can grow into their authentic voices and authentic selves.<\/p>\n<p>Courage is contagious.
