Two students at the University of Chicago are fighting back against the largely one-sided political culture on campus with a student-run digital newspaper highlighting conservative and libertarian viewpoints.

Audrey Unverferth and Evita Duffy founded The Chicago Thinker to expand political conversation among student communities with a mission that reads, "We demand not be coddled. Embracing the experience of unfettered inquiry and free expression is precisely the point of these years of intense study." Their motto: "Outthink the mob."

The website caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, who lauded the creation of a "new journal from students who refuse to be cancelled" in a column earlier this week.

"Self-censorship on campus has really become a sickness. I’ve experienced cancel culture, so has Audrey and other people we know, and at one point this summer, we said we are done," Duffy told "Fox & Friends" host Steve Doocy on Thursday.
