Can anyone suggest schools where Republicans are welcome?

Interesting-- the smartest people vote democratic. Not much of a surprise. Here is another thing to think about-- college kids are not that into politics. Your republican kid will be fine anywhere.

UVA. Most of us hate the damn liberals down in Hoo-ville.

He and the other foreign students also noticed the strong biasedness with the professors, a left-leaning one.

If you find a nonjudgmental, non brainwashed groupie school, do share! Otherwise go abroad!

Thank you! They are such idiots and will NOT SHUT UP!

Oh yay. A second poster who had *no* idea how lefty European university student bodies really are. You conservatives should get out more.

This is the basic problem -- the right wing talks about things it has no clue about. Including, apparently, the (non-) presence of their own fellow-thinking conservatives in European universities.

See, if you didn't stay in your Fox bubble, and made sure your kid got exposed to the world beyond the Fox bubble, you wouldn't make these stupid mistakes.

Right in the middle of the old steel mills and in the poorest section of Bethlehem -- good luck with that!

I guess that to the extent engineers aren't as involved with politics as your average poly sci student, OP's kid would be safe from contamination.

NP here. Not sure if this thread has already gone off the rails. OP, if you're still reading, I have taught as an adjunct at numerous colleges and universities over two decades and have not found one where conservatives were unwelcome. There have been Young Republican clubs on all campuses, action groups for conservative causes, and conservative students in all of my classes. If you truly are not a Tea Party family who dislikes discussions of economic or racial inequality of any sort or the sort of conservative who denies science, your son will get a fine education at any college. Really.

That being said, Young Republicans are a national group that would be able to put you in contact with students on the campuses you're considering so your son could get a tour from one of them.

Hmm -- if the DEMS relied on the "smart" votes (TAXPAYERS) they get they'd lose in a landslide. Check YouTube for the inteviews of Obama supporters who say they

agree with Obama's choice of Sarah Palin as VP
support Obama becuase he's anti-abortion
disagree with McCain's choice of Biden

the videos are hilarious.

When you start with a lock on most of the 47% that pay no federal income tax, you don't need a whole lot of "smart" voters to get to 50%. I guess "smart" is a subjective term, but can we at least agree that the overwhelming majority of people who actually pay for government do not vote DEM?

Go troll the Political Forum, if you have enough brains to find it. You lost your way coming here

Jessie Jackson Jr. won in a landslide despite being under a well deserved cloud.

High school dropout vote was dead even in the 2012 Presidential election. Voters with postgraduate degrees skewed 55% toward Obama nationally, however.

Looks like Romney won among those with college degrees [51%] those making more than $50K and those married. Obama won big with those earning less than $50K and with unmarried and LGBT.

I always love the category "post-graduate education" which covers any form of learning and studying for degrees, professional or academic certificates, or other qualifications for which a first or Bachelor's degree generally is required.

So a medical doctor is treated the same as someone getting a graduate teaching certificate. I guessing that most public school teachers support Obama - medical doctors? Not so much. University political science professors? Obama for sure. MBA's not so much.

All my doctors are Dems. I wouldn't trust a Republican.

All the doctors I know are democrats. Maybe taking an oath to devote your career to helping others and doing no harm does not align with the values of the GOP.

What are you talking about? The link that you provided doesn't even give statistics for High School dropouts. The lowest level education level polled was "no college degree" and 51% of them went for Obama.

In my experience people working in medical care, business, and engineering fields tend to be republicans. The liberal arts grads are the ones that lean heavily to the left.
