That retired principal who warned me about online mobs was spot on

Back in 2019, Mrs. Delgado told me that social media was turning into a public square where people bring their own guillotines. I laughed it off because she was always dramatic about 'newfangled things.' Then last year, a teacher in my district got raked over the coals for a joke in class that a parent clipped and posted without context. Three days later she had to resign, and I remembered Mrs. Delgado's exact words. Anyone else have an older voice in your life who just saw this whole cancel culture wave coming?

Did your Mrs. Delgado also predict nobody would ask for proof before piling on?

See it all the time now... people just pick a side and go with it without ever asking the hard questions.
