Its time for conservatives to abandon elite colleges

I say this reluctantly, but this situation at Brown has shaken me to my core.
My oldest daughter was Ivy-competitive. She was accepted to Brown and Dartmouth, and waitlisted at Princeton. Had she received acceptance at Princeton she probably would have enrolled. She ended up at Georgia Tech and had a wonderful experience.
One of our family friends ended up at Columbia. Just the case with my daughter, I thought as an Engineering major, he would be fine. I was wrong. He is a militant Marxist today. Came from a Christian conservative family and went extreme.
That poor girl from Birmingham. She worked hard all her life to get into an Ivy League school because that's what society says is success.
Its time to flood the SEC schools with conservatives and drown out any liberal thinking. Fight fire with fire.

Who wants to go to college in the northeast?

Ive got two HS seniors in the house, both of them have applied to Ivies and NE schools exclusively, except for one school in NC.
I;m good with it. They have great foundations, and they will face indoctrination regardless of what school they attend.

Public education is a joke. It should be either private or put the wife to work and homeschool. That’s it.

You should have known this was the case more than 20 years ago. I knew places like Bryn Mawr were screwed beyond belief in the 90s. If you'd walked around just outside MIT's campus 20 years ago, you would have seen the homeless camping in a park and wandering around 200 yards away.
There will always be a sect of parents that fuel the retarded dreams of teenagers to enable going to NE universities because they're "Ivy-ish." Kids will do whatever they need to in order to fit in with their peers. This would all be solved if you would travel with your kids instead of letting them be snowed over by university tour weekends. Ride the T during rush hour. Boston loses it's luster PDQ.

Whew. I was worried that you were going to rant against all colleges and universities, and encourage all good baws to conclude their education with a high school diploma.
So only the best colleges and universities are the bad ones, ok.

Texas has plenty of well regarded colleges that exceed just about anything the NE has.

My sister went to an Ivy after having interned on capital hill for a conservative congressman as a clean cut high school student.
She's now a diehard progressive atheist who was cutting off conservatives from her life at one point because she viewed them as evil.
When I would visit her as an undergrad I might as well have been on a trip to another country because compared to Bama it was like being on the set of the movie PCU. Ironically the women there loved the southern masculinity compared to the guys they were meeting in their social groups but even at that point the politics were becoming extremist.
If you send children into situations where everything around them is setup to condition them to accept a specific worldview, the odds of them sustaining four years against that without anything to balance out that messaging is virtually nil.
Women in particular are massively susceptible because they're far more socially conditioned then men.

Comparing what they're going to face at an Ivy to something like Vanderbilt or Georgia Tech in the SE footprint is laughable. You are sending them into the lions den up there and absent friends or family to help them process and interpret what they're going to be smashed in the face with you wont even recognize what you get back afterwards.
Very few people are able to accept becoming a social pariah during their formative years just to stand for their political principals. If you don't think an 18 YO boy will start spouting marxist messaging to get a date or avoid being screamed at as a fascist every time they leave their dorm room you're fooling yourself.

Some people are soft minded and can be easily manipulated. They'll find that at LSU or Dartmouth.

This is already happening. I’ve said it in other threads: Why would a normal American family let their kid go to Brown?

Your wife must be a genius, mate. Well done

The school on your degree means very little. I have a cousin who was sitting on a 4.0 in Accounting at Texas. He ended up transferring to Stephen F. Austin because vaginas are undefeated, but of course he maintained the 4.0. Now he's the President and CEO of some large construction materials company. He likely wouldn't be doing any better or worse had he stayed at Texas.

No. It’s time for conservatives to enroll in and begin teaching at elite colleges. Now more than ever. We need to infest the ivory tower with our own people and start our own indoctrination program.
If I were Trump I’d start by banning the FedGov from hiring graduates from prominent schools with ultra liberal administrations and faculties.

Yours is flawed thinking.
Compare to surrounding yourself with friends who all do drugs. With a high degree of probability, you too will take drugs. (And yes, IN BEFORE there's a slight probability that you wouldn't take drugs.)
Environmental. Why encourage surrounding your children with the types of people who go against their current moral fabric, if only to suggest that they are stronger of will?
