Alternative theory: the further left a school is, the more everyone but the true believers has been so cowed and demoralized by the Maoists in charge that they just don't care any more and want to leave.
The concept of tolerance is predicated on a lot of different variables; sometimes I find myself tolerant of things that may be bothersome, but really hurt no one in the long term. However, when it comes to subjects like politics, the environment, health care, immigration, education, gunsense, civil rights, law and order (judicial system) and other flammable subjects, I find I have little tolerance for the perpetrators of hate and control over others. The primary reasons are that the powers-that-be -- the pols, bureaucrats and the wealthy elite -- have usurped the system and now are above the law. Secondly, I'm not tolerant of Democrats who have not only withered away, but have enabled the MAGAts and their ilk. Thirdly, nothing has really changed since the late 1960s with respect to reform. The Conservaturds have played the long game to confiscate the wealth, the rights that were adjudicated decades ago, and to establish a White Christian society.

So, you would find someone who disagrees with you on the environment, health care, immigration (as a practical matter/execution and not the principle of it), education, guns, and possibly other topics to be "hateful" and "controlling"? What if they want less government regulation on these topics? What if they agree with you on the objectives but not the tactics? What would be your approach with someone who disagrees with you?

While I will certainly concede that the road to greater freedoms has not always been one of steady, linear progress, the overall trend has been one of greater freedom, and it's been quite dramatic and obvious. Of course, there are those on both sides who would like to curtail these freedoms in pursuit of their own goals, and have had some but limited success in this country (and more success elsewhere), but by and large the trend has been toward more freedoms for more people, at least in the USA.
How have we become more of a "White Christian" society? I'd like some examples.
If you are a conservative who chose to attend a hyper-left wing college, it may be because you were curious about and wanted to meet and come to understand these people whose beliefs are so unlike yours. If you can test these people for the psychological trait "Open to Experience" it might show something interesting about this self-selected set.

I'd like you to give me a list of ten racist, totalitarian conservatives, and your justification for putting them on the list.
Then, a list of ten liberals who do NOT spew hatred and intolerance of MAGA, and who do NOT want full control of government (totalitarianism).
You don't have to do this, of course. But you might want to.
So if a right-wing student is willing to go to a left-wing school, they must be tolerant, right? Seems like common sense.
