Queen Elizabeth. Christopher Columbus. Even “Harry Potter’s” Neville Longbottom could not escape the wrath of campus cancel culture.
Since 2013, at least 37 paintings, portraits, pictures, murals or art displays at universities across the nation have either been removed, covered, been the target of censorship demands, or had additional “context” added, to appease campus activists, almost all of whom are politically progressive.
For instance, in June, Oxford University removed a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, citing the image’s “links to colonialism.”
Last year, administrators at the University of Notre Dame covered murals of Christopher Columbus with Native Americans after critics complained the 1884 paintings represented “Western triumphalism, Catholic militarism and an overly romantic notion of American expansion.”
Similarly, historic murals at the University of New Mexico and the University of Oregon have been covered up.
In February, Vermont Law School defended its position to remove a mural depicting slaves being freed, calling it “caricatured and offensive.”
And at least two Confederate paintings have been banished from campus, Robert E. Lee at the University of Georgia and John C. Calhoun at Yale University.

Not all of the cancelation attempts are successful.
For instance, in July, the University of Rhode Island announced it would keep a series of World War II-era murals it had initially slated for destruction. Campus activists had argued the murals, painted in the 1950s, featured too many white people, therefore lacking “diversity and a sensitivity to today’s complex and painful problems.” Ultimately, the school chose to keep the paintings, with “necessary context regarding the original intent of the murals.”Other examples include:• In 2016, the University of Wisconsin-Stout moved an 80-year-old historic painting of Native Americans canoeing in a river alongside French trappers to a “controlled room,” where it can be viewed by appointment only.• In 2015, the University of Kentucky covered a historic mural painted in 1934 that shows scenes from the state’s history, including black workers in a tobacco field and a Native American with a tomahawk.• A student at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse complained that a Harry Potter mural on campus featuring the character Neville Longbottom represented “white, cis, man power.”To see […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
