3. The majority of college faculty under 35 say they are in favor of shutting down speakers with whom they disagree. What terrifies the censors and cancellers is not necessarily that a dangerous idea might be thought, or even expressed, but that it might become common knowledge.

Write your own stuff.
"What staggers me is how any man could prefer the galley-slave labour of transcription to the freeman's work of attempting an essay on his own."
A High School required reading list from 1978.
Yes, students under 18 years old read:
-Homer's The Odyssey & The Iliad
-Miguel Cervantes' Don Quixote
-Herman Melville's Moby Dick
-Virgil's Aeneid
-Tolstoy's War and Peace
-Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.
How many books on this list have you read?

No one wants a romantic dinner ruined by a screaming child at the next table.
According to a new survey, 75% of Americans say restaurants should offer some kind of adults-only dining experience to avoid unruly kids.
That includes child-free sections, restrictions during late-night hours, and quieter dining environments focused more on the experience than family-friendly chaos.
