I have degrees from two Ivy League schools, yet whenever a friend or relative discusses college choices for themselves or their children, I urge them NOT to attend one of these liberal elite institutions, but to find a college that will offer diversity of thought and will challenge their assumptions.

Sadly, not one of these folks has taken up my suggestion. They continue to apply, or send their kids, to the same dreary group of "prestigious" institutions.

It would be a shame to retreat fully and grant these institutions to the Cultural Left. Afterall, they were once bastions of conservative thought (many were seminaries too). Why not move to recapture them? In the meantime, there are true elite schools outside of the Northeast that are not quite so Bolshevik.
