Ashcroft: Thumbs UP!
Jesse: Major Thumbs Down!
I would just like to find a school that SUPPORTS my values if I am going to shell out $20,000/year rather than one that corrupts and confuses my children! Though what I am most concerned about are those individuals with whom my kids will have direct contact--profs, other students, and deans, I know that the top administration sets the tone for the whole school which influences atmosphere of school over time. Picking a college is a big decision--I wonder how many kids leave home conservative and return at Christmas Break (can I still call it CHRISTMAS Break) moderate to liberal.

The Military College of South Carolina--aka The Citadel! After all, W has spoken there twice in the last three years!

I see Baylor has been added to the list. In my years there I never once met a Democrat.

Ann Richards graduated from Baylor.

[Paleo Conservative]

Robert Bork got his law degree there and Antonin Scalia taught there.

The University of Texas is a hotbed of marxist/socialist Professors that permeate the Capitol City's atmosphere.

The Congresscritter Lloyd Doggett that reps Austin is as liberal as Charles Rangel and the hildabeast.

No way Jose!

Thanks! Sounds like my son would be in extremely good company with Williams, Ashcroft, Scalia, and Bork.

[oldtimer]

You just signed up today...I went to North Texas and it was/is a liberal/marxist/socialist bed of professors including one that I know in the "liberal arts" departments particularly.

A communist eco professor flunked me when he found out I was a Conservative.

No way is UNT "pretty good".

I went to Oklahoma Christian. My wife went to Abeline Christian and Texas A&M. She claims that A&M is more conservative than Abeline!

Let me just say that I did not start the thread about bad colleges and universities just for vanity's sake. I am trying to get together a list of them to get a project started, and I had already compiled the list of usual suspects when I decided to open it up to FReepers' observations. I was looking for personal experiences FReepers have had with PC colleges, Marxist/Leftist professors, featherweight curricula, brainwashing, indoctrination, censorship, etc.. This is all part of a Free Republic Network project we're calling Ed(ucation) Watch.

Not that I think THIS is a bad idea ...

PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY.

I went to ACU I highly doubt A&M is more conservative.... I graduated in 89 and you still could not wear shorts on campus.

Vandy is known as the SMU of the mid-south.

So SMU is snooty and not open to change too, eh?

[Walkingfeather]

By the way it is spellled Abilene. I am wondering if she even went. Name the two best BBQ places in town?

[Sooner]

Bob Jones U., Regents, Pepperdine. I can tell you two schools that are not conservative: University of Missouri and University of Oklahoma. Reading the student newspapers at either one of these schools will make you gag. I think its a public school thing, personally. Republican parents in the suburbs send kids to public schools and they get all rebelious, crusader-going to save the world type and really let loose. Not to mention that public school professors are really out there-or can be. And just for the record. ALL lawschools are liberal. Period. End of story.

"I went to ACU I highly doubt A&M is more conservative.... I graduated in 89 and you still could not wear shorts on campus."

But could you wear them to walk across campus to the gym or tennis courts? We could at Lipscomb in the early 80's.

[Walkingfeather]

Oh NO, No NO You had to be in the gym you could not wear them from the dorm... Although Tony Ash could jog around campus in some pretty short shorts.... SO like all the rules they were more enforced on the women than the men. Lipscom eh? you must be Csquared ( church of christ)

University of Texas at Dallas.

They won the collegate championship in Chess.

My son has loved William and Mary--and we're thrilled with the no-nonsense approach to critical thinking, freedom of speech (which even applies to conservatives!), and reasonable tuition. Furthermore, he has met a girl there who wants to get married and be a stay-at-home mom--our dream come true, too! Friends say we'd better clone her because she's a dying breed!
