“It is my belief that the years between 18 and 25 are the most important to determining your character as an adult.”
I disagree. I think character is formed at a much younger age.
“Send them to a ivy league liberal arts college or a ‘party school’ and when they get out (if they even graduate).. you wont even recognize them or what they have become.”
Again, I disagree. My son is nearing the halfway point through an Ivy League and is probably more conservative than the day he left home. By the way, the graduation rate at the Ivy League schools is somewhere in the high 90s%.
Like I said, character is formed by the time they leave high school.
There are some decent schools on this list (and I agree that Baylor should be on it, and might well be the star of the list if it were on it), but this list has more than one lacuna.
As well, this list is a tacit admission that we have ceded the heights of our culture to the barbarians, at least in the field of education, and further, we have no hope of recapturing those lost territories.
The first point is undeniably true - we HAVE ceded the heights of our culture to the barbarians. I'm unwilling to concede on the second point.

But, for the vast majority of parents who basically leave this basic responsibility up to the schools... the result of sending your child to a school that tilts WAY left will be devastating to conservative parents.
And even at that school they encounter on a daily basis environmental indoctrination that I must counter at home.
And that's at a extremely conservative school, I can't imagine what they are teaching at the public schools.
And if a parent is not paying attention the school will be the one who imprints it's values on your child.
