RE: the "benefits" of being a college conservative

"conservatives at predominantly liberal colleges get “exposure to different perspectives, regular practice building and defending coherent arguments, [and] intellectual challenges that spur creativity and growth.” Wright says these are benefits that liberal students have been “robbed” of."

Talk about spin! Now conservatives are supposed to be grateful to their hate-filled liberal classmates? Perhaps it is the progressive students who would learn something if only they would LISTEN to their conservative classmates instead of shouting them down, throwing them down a flight of stairs, or otherwise harassing them. Once again, the libs are blinded & rendered deaf from within their purposely impenetrable bubbles.

A key requirement for being a progressive is to be able to turn any situation to your advantage. To be able to spin and dissemble better than Pravda or Jacobin.

Yes, and all the Jewish students should be grateful for the vile anti-semitism because it will help them build character!
