Higher Education: No Safe Spaces for Conservatives
Frontpage ^ | March 24, 2017 | Jack Kerwick

It would appear that higher education has become a Politically Correct caricature of itself.  Yet for an increasing number of students, this is no laughing matter, for academia’s ceaseless drift toward the abyss of far-left ideology has been accompanied by an increase in threats of violence.

College campuses in many places have become dangerous for certain kinds of students.

Specifically, they have become dangerous for conservative students.

The same liberals on campus who whine about safe spaces immediately turn violent when anyone disagrees with them.

I have lost all respect for public and fedgov subsidized private educational institutions and the whiner snowflakes that attend.

While the WWII generation has been called, "The Greatest Generation", I say the Millennials are "The Worthless Generation".

No, we don’t need our own schools. We need someone smart and quick and a Constitutionalist to support the law as it stands in the First Amendment and the whole of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. .

For the most part our judges are neither smart nor properly trained to support our Constitution.

We have them. Hillsdale College is a fine example.

. . . but you have to hope for vastly larger enrollment than the few actually conservative colleges you mention could possibly handle.

IMHO what’s wanted is an online college capable of accepting - and educating - a massive enrollment. One - or more in a consortium - of the conservative colleges you mention should do it. I would further propose that such colleges systematically accept students, especially homeschoolers, who are a year underage.

Possibly they could start out as an associate degree program, feeding into a brick-and-mortar school(s) for a baccalaureate or Master’s degree. If such program were in place, students could aim to attain a Master’s degree at the same age as the liberals are attaining a mere bachelor’s degree.

It’s also worth noting that there is need for practical training for many most HS grads - not necessarily BS degrees for everyone.

Back in the day, only 10% of HS grads went to college. And most who graduated were not in hock up to their eyeballs . . .

Good comments.

Bob Jone University has a very extensive on-line curriculum.

IMHO, technical colleges can handle much of this.

Here in Aiken County, SC, Aiken Technical College offers many practical training courses.

This "college" is affliliated with the heretical Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), which is also one of the unconsenting-taxpayer-money-grabbing sponsors of "refugee" and "immigrant" "settlement."

True apostolic and reform-centered Lutheranism can be found in the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS)

Liberty University is already set up that way, with a large campus and an even larger online enrollment. Check out its extensive offerings.

Yes, St. Olaf’s College is just another VERY expensive private religious college, that is affiliated with a liberal mainline denomination (ELCA) that tolerates homosexuality and does not believe that the Bible is authoritative. It’s ironic that the parents send their kids there and they are educated in such a way that almost guarantees that they will drop out of their churches. Their heretical denomination is dying and it rightfully deserves to die.

I would posit that mainline Protestant and modern Catholic churches are dying not because their adherents are getting more pious; they are dying because even more casual worship can be had at mega churches which are multiplying like rabbits...
