Small red state colleges would be my guess. I actually don’t know any politically conservative kids!

You may want to step out of your bubble at some point.

DP here. I’m a high school history teacher and do not know any conservative high school kids either.

And you actually think all high school kids are freely sharing their political beliefs with you?

Yes, I know they are. Are you a high school teacher?

Oh, wow... you are so deluded.

Again, are you a high school teacher?

DP. Just curious why do you think kids in your class freely share their beliefs. When you teach the class do you present alternative view points including those that are not PC? Do you question liberal ideas from the conservatives view point?

Which conservative viewpoint do you suggest they be taught about the events of January 6th?

We get a lot of Hillsdale interns.

Incredibly unimpressive. Embarrassingly so.

No doubt the PP is obviously liberal, so liberal students feel comfortable sharing their politics with her. It's a given that there are conservative kids *everywhere* and none of them would dare challenge a liberal teacher (or liberal students). They simply stay quiet or pretend to agree.

Agree. My DC is economically conservative, and when he attended a DC private school and I questioned something he was being taught, he said “Don’t worry. I don’t believe it, but I know what the teachers want to hear.” (FWIW, it was about energy policy, which is my line of work.)

Pretty sure that particular lesson is just ripped out of text book entirely and teacher just sticks fingers in ear and say lalalalala if asked to discuss conservative viewpoint on that.

I was a conservative at a liberal Ivy 25 years ago. Even back then you knew to keep your mouth shut and pretend to agree with the professors. Plenty of self-censoring. You got used to it. But it's clearly worse now. The elite schools are not dedicated to free speech or the pursuit of truth or critical thinking. They're not liberal insomuch as progressives, and progressives and liberals are not the same thing. It's well documented. And this is from the mouths of old school liberal lefties. I don't know what advice to offer to conservative students other perhaps take another look at big state schools. By default of their sizes and locations they will have many more conservative students and there are some restraints on the faculty and administration.

So why does your organization still hire/select them?

Huh? The big donation conservatives forced the resignation of the head of the grand strategy program at Yale just last year. Conservatives seem to be doing fine over there.

Almost all my Trumpy Michigan cousins went to Calvin College. One went to Wheaton.

Not talking about the mob as much as the effort to not certify the electoral college and disinfranchise the nation's votes. How do they teach that?

The only important conservative colleges I can think of are BYU and Baylor

It really depends on what you mean by conservative: republican leaning majority vs conservative by DMV standards

This. My son was accepted to Brown and chose Notre Dame. He spent some time on campus and that was enough for him to decide against it. He is a centrist politically.

DC just heard from Baylor tonight and is very excited about acceptance!
