Description

Progressives have taught us that it doesnt take overt discrimination to make society unfair. Privilege afforded to different groupssuch as whites, males, and heterosexualscan infect our cultural institutions, creating unfair burdens for other groups.

But one form of privilege has been overlooked: progressive privilege. Today, the progressive worldview is depicted as what is normal, right, and worth celebrating by our cultural institutions. Conservatives are marginalized and stereotyped in entertainment, news, academia, and throughout our culture.

Progressive privilege isnt just unfair to conservatives; it has warped our entire political environment and made our country more divided. Recognizing progressive privilege is the first step to ending it, so that we can have a fairer, more truly inclusive society.
