    The conservatives gloating about @uchicago's "No Safe Spaces" policy don't appear to think it will apply to them, too, the dear wee lads.

        Speaking as a @uchicago grad, baby cons coddled in a world where they don't consider facts in their arguments are in for a surprise.

        Which is not to say that @uchicago doesn't have its raft of (endemic) racial/social issues; I was Student Ombudsman once. I know it does.

        But unless it's changed, no one at @uchicago gets away with spouting received "knowledge," including cons. Gotta back that shit up.

        And that's going to come as a very rude surprise to a lot of conservative students. Well, good. Time to learn, kiddies. Have fun. @uchicago

        I find it really difficult to believe that young cons don't realize this. I think they realize it and welcome it.

        In theory, they're all for it, sure. In practice, I've seen them whine when they get their rhetorical asses handed to them.

        I'm sure on all sides there are people who get butthurt easily, but it's they will most benefit from absence of safe spaces.

        WHO WILL THINK OF THE BUTTHURT?!? Wow, that sounds bad.

        The butthurt must now seek their own balm.

        Conservatives haven't ever had a safe space on campus. They all know you have to be thick-skinned & on your toes ...always

        I wonder if the students of Liberty University (or Oral Roberts University) would agree with this statement. @UChicago

        You're the one who came up with quite narrow examples as if that was the only place you might find conservatives.
