I recently wrote a letter to my alma mater urging the school to embrace ideological diversity rather than pushing its liberal agenda on students. It fell on deaf ears.  

I graduated from Davidson College in May with a B.S. in biology and a plan to pursue a physician assistant school. But during the fall of my senior year, I got involved in Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative student group, and began an internship with Davidsonians for Freedom of Thought and Discourse, an alumni group focused on promoting free speech and ideological balance on the Davidson College campus.  

I’ve always been conservative. While it’s true that Davidson College isn’t widely known for conservative voices, many of my peers quietly shared my convictions. But they hesitated to speak up or challenge professors’ perspectives, fearing grave consequences like getting lower grades or being ostracized by classmates and professors.  

My college experience is not uncommon.  

For years,
