Have you heard of voting with your feet? This refers to relocation within a federal republic such as ours, from failing places to more successful places.
Think of the marketplace as voting with your dollars. Take your money elsewhere. Patronize schools with values you embrace.
The problem with voting with your dollars is that many schools are well-endowed and, so, are largely immunized from tuition, contributions, etc. This endowment issue is even a bigger problem in the mainstream churches that don’t give a hoot about the contributions, or lack of contributions from current members.
So, we need BOTH voting with your dollars AND working from within to take back the schools, churches and charities that we can.
My youngest was mostly tutored and homeschooled, growing up in multiple locations overseas. He got into university at 13, did the 2 year undergrad. requirements and quit. He said it was all B.S. I had no problems with that. Ironically, the professors extolled how conservative they actually were during orientation, though they seem to be out of touch with what that means anymore.
Bates doesn’t have that much of an endowment and is set right in the middle of poverty and crime.
