Ave Maria School of Law is an orthodox Catholic law school.

There is NO campus ACLU or Democrat Party student organization.

The first three student organizations: a pro-life organization, a Federalist Society chpater, and a student chapter of the Republican National Lawyer's Association.

The women students have a women's group whose mission statement focuses on Pope John Paul II's descriptions of authentic femininty - the antithesis of NOW.

One of the dean's is a leader of the Nationa Lawyers Association (a group that rejects the ABA for its partisan stance.

The four professors who founded the school each have at least 5 kids in their family. Most of the additional faculty also have very large families. Two faculty families homeschool. Most families attend very conservative Catholi schools.

The women who work on campus must wear below the knee skirts. Men who work on campus must wear a jacket and tie - normally a suit.

Robert Bork is on the tenured faculty.

University of Michigan (also in Ann Arbor) frequently calls the school to get token conservatives for debates.

Mood on campus is EXTREMELY supportive of President Bush - and we discuss in detail that there is no religiou or moral duty to agree with the pope on this issue.

You can see how indoctrination and intimidation alter what should be natural composition of society by examining immigrant populations and their offspring.

For instance, at Michigan I was pretty closely involved with the Vietnamese there, and of course the parents are often religious(Buddhist or Catholic,) conservative and anti-Communist. They also hold no truck for wacky ideas.

I knew a Viet-American girl who was a law student there, and from some of her emails, the seminars organized on campus were filled with crap like "social justice and critical theory." For those who don't know what critical theory is, in the context of the law, it's an attempt to deconstruct the law to advance Leftist causes. In fact, the law ends up becoming whatever they want it to, and concepts like natural law and constitutional principles are thrown out the window.

Of the kids who became political, very few were conservative in nature. They usually became a softer, nicer version of the Leftists on campus. One was talking to me about how impressed he was when Cornel West spoke on campus. *sigh*

These kids don't come to these schools thinking that garbage. The indoctrination starts in high school and just gets worse at the college level.
