I don't think so. The leftists would have the students studying feminist authors, historians of color and LGBT philosophy.

This could actually be one of the few conservative dream colleges. A great place to start if you wanted to challenge the liberal elites in academia, journalism, or the arts.

But of course "real conservatives" are only supposed to be interested in practical pursuits such as engineering. We leave all that liberal arts nonsense to the liberals.

But how has that worked out for us?

“This college is a leftist‘s dream.”

No it’s not. An example from American History of that this classical education can lead to are the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Probably the poster child of a product of a classical education in that era is Thomas Jefferson.

In the state of our present American culture, it is in no way the current leftist's dream. This is not your grandfathers "left", it is a parody of it, a plastic copy by a very sick society.

I was smiling the entire time I was reading the description of the college. It reminded me of the high School I attended. We were not a perfect match, I was a mediocre student; a lazy student, worked just hard enough to get mostly Bs, and a few As and Cs.

But what a Lineup!
No electives.
4 years of Latin.
Two Years of Greek.
One semester of physics.
One Semester of Chemistry.
Religion/ethics
Algebra
Plane Geometry.
Trigonometry.
Solid Geometry.

Today's High School is the lower school of the late 40s.
Today's college is the high school of the early 50s.
College was another great adventure too; but that's another story.
