Conservatives : Do you feel like your views are hated on in the college setting ?

[DaleCooper]

A lot of this is a moral panic from the right. I'm not surprised to see multiple "No, but that's only because I was in STEM" comments here. They're so insulated in their safe spaces that they're convinced that history professors are teaching their students to worship Stalin, or whatever. This reminds me a lot of the way evangelicals would warn their kids about how universities would force them to take atheism classes, back in the day. In reality, 95% of professors just want to do their jobs, 95% of students just want to pass their classes, and almost nobody cares about your stupid political opinions.

The real problem on campuses that I noticed was related to whatever the current leftwing social cause was. Right now it seems to be Hamas support. 10 years ago it was the fake anti-racism protests. A couple years later it was MeToo and all the scam Title IX statistics. "99% of rapists walk free," and crap like that. It was that kind of BS that it never felt safe to stand up against, but the idea that you'd get persecuted for having any particular conservative opinion is absurd.
