Popular conservative columnist George Will has been dumped by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch following the backlash over a column he wrote two weeks ago regarding sexual assault on college campuses.So when one questions the "facts" of the feminists, especially when the math doesn't work, you get banned?
The move was announced by the paper’s editorial editor Tony Messenger late Wednesday. He said the move had been under consideration for months beforehand, but that the recent column “made the decision easier.”
“The column was offensive and inaccurate; we apologize for publishing it,” Messenger wrote.
Will drew ire on the left when his column cast doubt on the “supposed campus epidemic of rape,” and said that victimhood was a “coveted status” that encouraged people to make spurious allegations. Will also argued that campus activists have expanded their definition of “sexual assault” to overly broad levels that include actions like unwanted touching, and that campus tribunals are an inappropriate venue for assessing allegations of assault.
