Soon we may see a Georgia Tech or Purdue degree as far better proof of an educated and civic-minded citizen than a Harvard or Stanford brand.

To my Florida grand neices's credit, she applied to and was accepted by GA Tech.

Her parents are dyed-in-the-wool Florida Gators.

When asked why she selected Tech rather than FL or other schools (she is a computer genius and had lots of school offers), she said was accepted there on her merit and not her DEI score.

70% of the public does not want to spend money on more war. The Congress works for the donors - and totally ignores the wishes of the public.

The way I see the Democrats and Republicans - two competing crime families - selling influence to the highest bidder - you can say that one is slightly better than the other - but they are clearly criminal organizations - defying the constitution on a regular basis.

Speaking for myself, a Georgia Tech degree is a great thing! Unfortunately even Tech has succumbed to woke-ism as the degree programs have expanded - a couple of years ago we had a Rhodes Scholar who was a trans. Even back in my day there was a strong homosexual student’s group (hey, it’s Atlanta after all).

As a Tech grad. I would not knock UofF engineering schools. Worked with more than one Gator who was pretty good. But if she’s going to Tech, dress her in White and Gold and Ramble On!

She can always hit the portal and make her way back to the sunshine state at some point.
