The political correctness running wild in academia is giving rise to conservatism as the new counterculture movement on campus. The status quo is liberalism and the establishment is leftist professors and administrators.

As TruthRevolt previously reported, a Saddleback College student in California is among this political minority that is noticing this shift. Taylor Samuelson believes that the PC culture on campus "is reaching its peak" and it's just a matter of time before it freefalls to its death, leaving conservatism to fill the void. Samuelson said there is hope on the horizon:

A culture war is brewing on campus, and students are realizing that the real extremists are leftists, not conservatives… The tide is changing, and leftists on campus won’t know what hit them. Individual freedom, American pride, and the ability to determine ones own destiny are ideas that will change the campus atmosphere. The silent majority is back, and it is stronger than ever on campus.

Fox News profiled five other young conservatives on Friday who are helping the underground trend grow. Below is a summary of their stories.

Dominque Blair is a freshman at Cerritos College in Norwalk, California. She has been bullied for a double whammy: being black and conservative.

"I spent three hours being berated and taunted," she said. "I was called a 'race traitor,' 'Uncle Tom' and 'coconut' by black students.”

Despite the pushback on campus, she stands firm in her beliefs and regularly engages in conservative events on and off campus, including starting a Turning Point USA chapter.

Hanna Oh, now a graduate, is another "anomaly" in the eyes of the Left: she's Asian and conservative. Their self-proclaimed "tolerance" abated for a brief moment when they labeled her a "shady person of color" for regularly defending faculty in Claremont McKenna College's newspaper. Her other "crime"? Opposing so-called "safe spaces."

Jacob Ellenhorn has been profiled several times here at TruthRevolt for run-ins with the PC police. He is president of the College Republicans at the University of Southern California. Ellenhorn was recently impeached from the student Senate for his "hostile" viewpoints. It also happened shortly after his group invited Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos to speak on campus. He notes a difference between staff and "snowflake" students:

"I am noticing that students are becoming far worse than even the most leftist of staff members… so much so that they try to shut down the speech of others."

Christian Costa served as national co-chair of Students for Carly [Fiorina] while attending Meredith College, an all-women's school, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Not only did she learn that was a big no-no from her moral betters on campus, but she was severely criticized for backing the controversial transgender bathroom bill in her state.

“I found it shocking that many of my professors didn't think gender is biological,” Costa said. “You have to be biologically and self-identifying as female [to go here] so how can you believe gender does not exist?”

Anna Bauch, yet another female conservative, is involved in DePaul University's College Republicans and Turning Point USA on her Chicago campus. Her liberal peers' safe spaces were violated this year by tiny pieces of chalk. She was told by professors to avoid writing messages that could be viewed as sensitive, like "Trump 2016," anything pro-2A, or calling out race-baiting. Bauch gives her thoughts on why students on campus are imploding:

“I think students have been more coddled and get offended more easily now than in the past 10 years. I think my generation feels entitled and would rather complain about student loans than work harder to get better scholarships and make more money.”

It appears "The Chalkening" is making way for the next "Great Awakening."
