I've been forming thoughts along these lines recently. We need lots of affordable private schools where Conservative and religious education can be had by average people. I graduated from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, but I'm sorry to say that the tuition there is a real deterrent to people wanting to attend. If I hadn't gotten an academic scholarship, I never could have afforded it. I'm also sorry to say that, while the professors im my major were religious and Conservative (I majored in a hard science), many if not most of the humanities professors were die-hard leftists. It's real
On a side note, I think we shouldn't stop at colleges. I think far greater good could be done by building good Catholic grade and high schools. Most people in this country don't go to college, and we need to do all we can to get them away from the public school system and the Marxists infesting it.

Hmmm...don't know where the "it's real" came from...I must have started a thought and gotten sidetracked :)

I also contribute to my HS alma mater, an all-girls Catholic. It's very disappointing to read the annual report every year and realize that less than $200,000 of a $2.5 million budget comes from the alumnae. Tuition this year is outrageous.
ALL Catholic schools need support.
