The reason why the United States is as strong as it is economically is because of our higher education system that we invested in, a long time ago. There are people who are sponsored by their home countries that come to study in the United States, because of this.

get your kid in stem and you dont see this shite. or tell them not to attend dumbass events or......
just an idea
raise your kid with a really good moral compass and great foundation and let them make their own choices and trust them to make the correct ones and actually speak and talk and discuss things with your kid, listen to their POV and discuss the actual topics without getting mad or upset
you know...be an adult, speaking with another adult.

That was then and this is now. After about 70 years of left wing filth our education system is trash

As someone who works with high school students during the application and admissions program, here are some of the conservative colleges/universities whose names pop up most often:
1. Hillsdale College (acceptance rate is only 20%) and decreasing by the year as the number of applications is exploding. For now it is still test-optional, but they do strongly consider high school GPA and rigor of high school curriculum.
2. Grove City College in PA - aka the Hillsdale of the east coast. 70% acceptance rate, Christian, test-optional but encourages taking SAT/ACT/CLC and submitting scores for scholarships and in support of application)
3. Clemson Lyceum Scholars program - must be admitted to Clemson and, separately, to the Lyceum program. Small with tiny acceptance rate, mentored and staffed by faculty with Hillsdale ties. Does not receive financial support from Clemson but has university's philosophical backing.
4. University of Tulsa - a private university historically affiliated with Presbyterian church, 69% acceptance rate, small campus feels bigger, National Security Agency Center of Academic Excellence in both Research and Cyber Defense. McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering is ranked No. 7 among petroleum engineering graduate schools and No. 5 among undergraduate PE schools by U.S. News. Excellent financial aid percentage.
5 University of Alabama Achieve Scholars Program - somewhat similar to Clemson's Lyceum program, must be accepted to Bama to be part of scholars program.
6. Franciscan University - In 2013, Young America's Foundation rated Franciscan as one of the top 10 conservative colleges in the nation, three years after the Cardinal Newman Society ranked it as one of the 21 top Catholic colleges and universities in The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. 67% acceptance rate. Best to speak with recent graduate or current student about current campus environment. Obviously, Catholic.
There are more. Let me know if you want more options!

Outside of the Northeast or West Coast you won’t find this nonsense at many colleges. Tulane is an outlier.

BYU is pretty awful, academics-wise, and not for non-Mormons.
Avg. ACT score last year was 21 (out of 36). Ye gads!

A moron, and I mean a real frickin' moron chooses Hillsdale College over Columbia or USC or Emory or Northwestern or Harvard or Yale or Johns Hopkins simply because they're protesting over some bullshite.
Does Hillsdale College have an accredited Engineering program for engineering degrees?
If not, then you sure as shite wouldn't choose it over USC or Northwestern for a STEM major.
Now, for others types of majors, sure, it may not matter, so maybe you pick the school with the better culture.

Ask the countries who sponsor their citizens and pay for their college educations in America if whether our higher education system is trash. I'm talking about engineers, doctors, and other careers that require some degree of technical knowledge.

What planet do you live on? They teach that men can be women in biology classes
and some of these schools teach that math is racist. Please get your head out of the sand. It’s not 1999.
I agree that you need to raise your kids to be independent and stand up to these woke idiots but voluntarily giving woke schools 200k to teach them nonsense isn’t helping.

Get your kids to do DUAL ENROLLMENT (not AP) in high school and get a lot of the BS courses out of the way.
A lot of colleges start creeping this woke nonsense in with ENG 101.
Picking a STEM or Business major keeps you away from most of it as well. Majoring in Social Work, Sociology or Psychology is a ticket to shaved head lesbian-dom or a soy boy son.

I don’t know a plumber or electrician who made under 100k last year, even the laziest of the lazy ones I know (probably 25 combined). Some made over 250k. None of them have any student debt. None are baristas or DoorDash for extra cash. Only one electrician I know is a renter. I would encourage kids, especially boys, this is the way.
Not disputing your personal anecdote, but every single study proves that college graduates make considerably more then non college graduates. It gets even more skewed with graduate degrees.
It’s not a debate. Wishing it to be doesn’t change that reality.

Be careful and check about acceptance of both DE and AP credits; not every college accepts every such credit. Caveat emptor!

This is not taught in any biology class at LSU. Where are you guys getting this information?

Come on, dude. We all know that with some Googling skills, someone can figure out how to be their own doctor for stroke treatment, Achilles tendon surgery, seizures their child may be having, hearing loss, etc.

BYU grads have a strong presence in the field of finance. You never have to worry about them coming to work hungover.

He listed “elite” schools. So not LSU
Most SEC schools have woke pockets but haven’t been completely taken over like the east/west coast elite schools.
