You betcha. When my daughter (now 11) starts looking at colleges, you can be darn sure that Mom will be investigating each school very carefully as well. UC is off the list. I wonder what UC alumni and others (who may fund endowments to UC) will have to say. Vote with the pocketbook, that may get their attention.
Years ago my two oldest kids spent some time in that hippy refuge. One of them, the most impressionable, still hasn't recovered from his years of "study" at UC Boulder. BTW, Boulderites themselves describe Boulder as "70 square miles surrounded by Reality".
Two Colleges that are worthy of your consideration:
Hillsdale College (Michigan)
Ave Maria College (Florida)
...other freepers, feel free to add to this list of good colleges for conservatives.
Look at the courses. Do not allow her to go to any college that offers a degree in Peace Studies ( Marxism) or ethnic studies (denigrating Western Culture).
I attended Stanford and mrs tom h attended Hanover College, yet we are doubtful that our children will attend our alma maters because of the rampant liberalism.
I have been cataloguing possibilities -- we are a Christian family so you will find some of these on the list:
Hillsdale College, Hillsdale MI -- the Stanford of the right.
Patrick Henry College, Leesburg VA -- most of the Bush Administration interns come from here.
Grove City, Grove City PA -- famous for rejecting matching Federal funding.
Thomas Acquinas College, Ojai CA
Ronald Reagan University -- planned for somewhere in Tennessee.
There will be more. But even age 18 is too young for inflicting liberalism on children.
