Well . . . scratch another possible college off my daughter’s list. The list of college’s eliminated for nonsense like this is getting pretty long.
""Dear Mr. Wagner, I am the parent of 3 high school students and we are starting our college search. Your University was of interest because it fit in with my kids academic qualifications, but I am crossing it off the list due to the recent incident with the Horowitz speech. If you can't control a small crowd during a speech, then I can only wonder how poorly will you control my kid's safety on campus?
In addition, you even had two admininstrators at the event, a vice-provost and a vice president and you still couldn't control the crowd to let the man speak! I've seen the video of the event. I also have to wonder if the seemingly tacit approval (by lack of any crowd control) of the crowd antics towards a conservative speaker will mean that my child will not get a diversified education and will instead get a left-wing indoctrination. If that's the case, then I'll spend my $45,000 a year elsewhere. I don't buy shoddy merchandise.
You don’t state what your daughter’s major will be, but a no-nonsense college in Michigan is Hillsdale College. It helped in originally founding the Republican Party. They can be found on the internet at www.hillsdale.edu.
We receive a conservative pamphlet from them every month called Imprimis. These are generally abridged excerpts from lectures given by known conservatives (usually) like Tony Snow, Bill Bennett, and Newt Gringrich. Imprimis has been quite informative and I look forward to them coming in the post.
