I realize that some of them have high cachet value for connections and jobs, but kids can really get a better education for their money by shunning at least the worst of the lot.
I was so proud of my middle daughter who got tons of college fan mail. First thing she did was check out which colleges had substantial "Women's Studies" departments and trash canned them. When I asked her why she used that key indicator, she told Dad that it was a sign of substantial Lesbian influence on campus and was the first thing to avoid.
Your daughter is very smart person!
Is there ANY college in the US, other than overtly religious colleges, that are not in the left’s pocket? What is our strategy for taking them back? Do we need a “Viet Nam war” uber event to slingshot a rollback to sanity in academia? If not, then what can we do, what tools of cognition, media and internet do we have? How can conservatives recapture the imagination of young people, harness the notion of freedom to something other than hormone clogged libido in a way that is stronger than sex, drugs and rock & roll? Do conservative think tanks even LOOK at this issue?
