> What I've seen mostly is a different kind of groupthink, where critical thinking and open, curious and honest discussion is not tolerated.
In my experience it really hasn't been hard to find a home for every position at a reasonably-sized school: fraternities and clubs are all over the spectrum (often actively endorsed and sponsored by the school).
Even at UC Berkeley, one of the largest organizations here is the Berkeley College Republicans — and last year I attended a Turning Point USA event officially hosted by San Francisco State University perfectly fine (even with it being the "leftist" school that established Ethnic Studies).
A generalization that is worded like a sci-fi blockbuster logline doesn't seem to square with critical discussion — if anything it comes across as a redigestion of online forum posts and second-hand accounts. It's hard to say any university of a reasonable size has one monolithic culture, even within the same department.
