Adrianna San Marco is a conservative student journalist who has been attending Syracuse University. Back in June, she was fired by the school’s student newspaper for writing a piece that suggested institutional racism is a myth.

Syracuse University Silent On Assault And Death Threats Against Conservative StudentsIndoctrination and exclusionary practices are not new to college campuses.
