I often hear FReepers tell each other to pull their kids our of public schools. We also have to keep our kids out of liberal universities. I know we all think that our kids are special and will not be affected by four years of brainwashing, but more often than not, our kids do succumb.
We scrimp and save for years to make college available, but for what? The commies are laughing all the way to the bank. We need to hit them where it hurts. Let these liberal universities live without conservatives' kids. Often times, they are the one who pay the most tuition, because they don't qualify for need based financial aid.
Please, send your kids to conservative colleges. There are plenty. If you think you can't afford it, think again. Financial aid has become more the rule than the exception.
My son attends one of the most liberal universities in the country, UW-Madison (aka Madistan, aka Moscow West.) He just returned to classes after spending a year with Uncle Sam in the desert. One of his classes (a 20th Century American Lit. class) is in reality a daily anti-war diatribe perpetrated by the prof.
At some point near the end of the semester, when my son is assured of his grade (an A so far) and will have the paperwork to back it up, he has decided he is going to turn the tables on this jerk and tell him exactly what he thinks of his class and his politics.
He does not advertise the fact that he is a vet but it did come up in one of his classes. The reaction (from the students anyway) was actually quite positive.
He keeps his sanity by focusing on what he needs to do and on the task at hand (Army training comes in handy here). He ignores MOST of the insanity and takes advantage of the good things the school has to offer. He is a political science major and hopes to become a lawyer. He does NOT suffer fools gladly and will always stand up for what he believes.
Your point it well taken, though, and if I had my choice, he might very well be somewhere else. I'm not worried though. He can & will take care of himself and will not sacrifice his values.
