Conservative author withdraws from speech at Furman: ‘You can’t cancel me, I quit’

A conservative author has withdrawn from speaking at Furman University after a cancel culture campaign on campus engaged in smears against her.

“You can’t cancel me, I quit” was the title of Mary Eberstadt’s March 26 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.

In it, she explains how she chose to withdraw from speaking at the private, South Carolina university “rather than indulge an angry mob.”

Eberstadt is author of the 2019 book “Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics,” and was slated to give a speech Monday at Furman at the behest of its Tocqueville Program.

So why did she pull the plug?
