While I agree with your outrage over the pervasive liberal bias at some of our 'top' Universities, I disagree with the notion that we should urge young conservatives to avoid those schools. Fact is, those schools will exist with or without young conservatives. It would seem like a better strategy to continue to infiltrate those schools, and affect change, however incrementally, through those few brave students.
God tests us all the time. One of the biggest tests I had was growing up in a small mid-western town, being Christian, and then attending an Ivy-League institution. I feel better for having gotten through that test. In addition, I happen to be one of the few conservatives in my circle of alumni friends. I look at that as an opportunity. It's a chance to show these guys the alternative to their way of thinking.
BTW, I would feel comfortable sending my kids to my alma mater. This is an interesting dabate, I think.

I believe that these institutions are beyond repair in the life time of your children. The overall view is that the communists have won. Refer to the Naked Communist & make your own judgement. I personlly view my children above those institutions of lower learning. This may sound crazy but if your child is really motivated & knows what he wants to do if he/she would take a job at a company of choice & work at low pay but request to work in each dept. After a 4 yr education this person is about to start his own business & not owe any money.
