As we follow the trajectory of the student at OU who wrote an essay citing zero sources and making no argument, got the instructor fired by claiming her 1A rights were violated, went on a tour of rw media and now seems poised to become a part of the TPUSA speaker circuit: (1/4)

I’d like to frame that story and hang it in the office of every journalist who’s met my skepticism about rw cancel culture stories with a question like “but then why are there so many of these stories?” (2/4)

Not every student will strike this bargain when offered. Probably not even that many conservative students. But given these incentive structures, why wouldn’t a non-negligible number of students take this opportunity when offered it? Which is why wealthy donors created it in the first place. (4/4)
