Any other alums who think their school has gone off the deep end?

Well, just daydream about separate water fountains and a 2000 mile wall. That should brighten your day.

My SLAC was not particularly liberal to start with, and has stayed middle of the road.

What school?

No. I went to a small LAC in the Midwest and they’re very middle of the road. Love it.

Oh good, the horror. Giving an education to people who are different then you. Damn all those colleges giving diplomas to Black people too, right?

This thread. Like what? Colleges are liberal - well, they always have been. When I went to college the place was constantly up in arms about Viet Nam. And thank God it was, because that got my West Virginian ass up and actually reading about politics and realizing maybe the Viet Nam war was a travesty, which in turn made me look at other issues I was sadly uninformed about and taking a more nuanced view of politics.

I certainly didn't become a raging liberal, but it made we realize that there was more to politics then coal, lying idiots, and small town West Virginia. Colleges trend liberal nowadays because sadly it's hard to support modern conservatism when you have even a slight understanding of reality, economics, and history. See: the tax plan.

Why can't we have a thread about colleges or universities without politics in it?

Is there no middle ground between Trumpism and the far left? They all seem to push different identity politics, but if push comes to shove I can’t side with the far left that basically wants to empty the pockets of every white person. They aren’t much different than Mugabe or Winnie Mandela.

OP: I have donated almost every year since I've graduated, and think I've reached the point where I can't justify it anymore. Culture changes, but my college has started fluff "studies" majors and lost any semblance of free speech. I was on campus for homecoming and couldn't believe how much students, administration, and faculty equated any semblance of conservatism as something that needs to be apologized for. If they are going to criticize people having wealth, then they don't need my money earned thru capitalism.

+1 well said

Liberal colleges criticize wealth yet are the liberal elite.
Yet again, liberals need to look in the mirror.

The far left is just as insidious as the America First crowd. Many of us want nothing to do with them (and, presumably, with you). Perhaps you are the one that needs to look in the mirror both when far-left universities stop getting donations and far-right candidates win office.

We can. The OP is clearly not about that.

Yeah, seriously PP. if you don’t march lockstep with the left clearly you’re a segregationist and you may as well join the KKK.
