something I have been wondering. I have a new daughter(who turns 1 year old on the 16th!) and we are saving up to send her to the college of her choice. We of course think she is brilliant(which she is) and think she will be able to choose from any college she wants. Are there any of the "elite" colleges that may be well known for having conservative values, or at least not such liberal snobbery as Harvard or Brown? We are in Oklahoma, so SMU and Rice are close. Any suggestions?

I know of NO "classic" college (or university) with ANY kind of national reputation for liberal arts (such as Yale, Brown, Penn, Penn State, Michigan, (any CA school), etc.) that I would trust my children to attend and NOT get polutted with mindless, politcally corrupt, socialism/communism/me-worldism.

ONE private school up north (Hillsdale) stands alone in the nation (world ?) as actually defending capitalism and "real-world" decision-making. that's IT.

In engineering, physics, computer programming, and a few of the technical programs, your children will get "less" incorrect information than in the mush of liberal arts....but in general, the "better" the reputation (among the liberal writers who evaluate colleges!) a college has, the WORSE it do for your child.

At the engineering schools at least, the "honest" students serve as a form of reality check on the idiots and communists teaching their lies. It doesn't change grade punishment from the liberals for writing the truth (as happened to my daughter) - but it helps. In a "classic" liberal arts college, where your child may be the "only" honest person in the room of 150 nitwits- her/his ideas don't stand a chance.

And, in a few years, NOBODY (other than academia) will caer where your child has graduated.
