What's the Opposite of Diversity? University

People are beginning to push back against the Liberal Orthodoxy, however. She came out as conservative at Harvard. It went better than expected. | The College Fix

Carine Hajjar dealt with ideological homogeneity at Harvard University for three-and-a-half years mostly in silence, but in the spring semester of her senior year, she finally came out as conservative. She said she has no regrets.

Brave woman.

“People are just afraid. It’s not that there are necessarily rules against saying conservative things; there’s just a social structure and an unspoken speech code that makes people really scared to express their views,” she said.

Scared to express differing views on a college campus. Color me shocked.

When asked about what other conservative students who might be in similar situations of being surrounded by liberalism and self-censoring their views could do, Hajjar said don’t try to “own the libs.”

Instead, “be respectful, measured, and approach these conversations gradually and very respectfully,” being sure not to just shy away from conversation, she said.

Read the whole thing. I think Carine Hajjar is going to be a name to remember.
