3) Disagree with the PP that says that the free speech thing is BS.  It's not.  It's engrained in UChicago culture, and it attracts applicants and academics who value this.  And this might surprise the above PP, but those kids are often liberals who value it and want to hear conservative viewpoints.  It attracts people who are looking to discuss differing points of view.

You're just echoing official University of Chicago marketing which has no basis in reality. The literal handful of outspoken Conservative kids are bullied and cyber bullied relentlessly by wacko peers and wacko professors. One of them was even fired from the official student newspaper, which is run by intolerant far left wackos. And the Conservative kids are not anywhere near the obnoxious MAGA strain who you might infer deserve the scorn; they're basically just dorky pro-life Centrist kids i.e. RINO, Conservative Inc. types. UC's actual campus ethos is no different than you'd find at any Ivy and Berkeley and not too far from Oberlin.[/quote]

They're not talking about dopey kid politics, they are talking about whether there are deep conservative theoretical frameworks guiding some traditions of faculty scholarship at Chicago.  Which there are in a number of disciplines.  Economics and Sociology in particular.  Serious liberal students want to hear those conservative perspectives.  They don't want to hear some dopey 18 year old guy going off about whether women have a right to make choices about their own bodies. Just because you think that's "Centrist" doesn't make it not grossly oppressive to any woman who believes they have a right to bodily autonomy.[/quote]

So we went from the campus is this magical tolerant ethos to....... a handful of dorky Conservative Inc. / Federalist / RINO trickle down professors are tenured in billionaire investment banker Ken Griffin's econ dept. Got it.[/quote]

"Magical tolerant ethos"  does not equal to being down with oppression.  Sorry.  We don't need to accept your framing.[/quote]
