OP. Thanks for trying to type cast me. No, not interested in Liberty which is also political. DC is sick of all politics and would like a college experience of the type I had as a 18 year old.

18 year olds in the US of A are expected to be educated to be voters as part of their responsibility to the country. Maybe your kid should move to a country where politics doesn't matter, like North Korea, China or Russia.

Civics classes do not = political indoctrination

Why is your child unable to be exposed to different ideas? Isn’t that the point of college?

Unfortunately, academics (more often in the humanities) have forgotten the meaning of the term "liberal arts." A liberal arts education is supposed to develop critical thinking skills to choose the best path in life, not to indoctrinate.

You think it’s “the academics” who have forgotten that? I suppose even if that is true, at least they knew what it means at one time.

Funniest post in the thread.

Who lacks critical thinking skills? Yesterday the Trump administration released the "1776 Report," allegedly history but without any footnotes or citations. So, a piece of propaganda reviled by all reputable historians, the ones who actually have critical thinking skills (and work at the schools OP wants to avoid).

Not seeing how that is relevant to op’s question. Not everyone trying to avoid overly political campuses is a trumper. There are plenty of centrists and even mildly conservative sorts who don’t feel comfortable in the current academic climate at most schools.

This is absolutely true. Conservatives (“Trumper” or not), know exactly which schools they’re interested in. If you want a conservative school, it isn’t hard to find. It is hard to find a school where there is actually open discourse that isn’t dominated by one side or another.

I'm not even looking for that much. I'd just like to find a school where a kid can keep their head down and learn chemistry without being berated about pronouns or other such.

THIS x 100. Leave my kid alone.

Once again, that’s not at all what we’re talking about here. The OP and others are looking for schools that don’t put up with a loud faction demanding classes stop until their demands are met. See: Bryn Mawr and Haverford. Don’t try and make this about something it’s not.

But there are so many colleges besides those two colleges with isolated incidents.

Can’t wait to see the new woke civics class curriculum for k-12 all about evil America, the evil founders, the evil documents, and the evil history. The shame, the horror, the failures. We must overhaul the country.

McGill is more capitalist than Wharton. Ad it easily has excellent “diversity” in race, creed, and heritage being in Toront. And better yet, has merit-based applications that aren’t attacked for being racist.

I'd look at universities overseas. Maybe Australia - many of the universities there are on par with American flagships and they're probably cheaper. They accept US SAT scores for entry. I think some of them even accept our student loans.

What about this is so scary for you? It would be one thing if you were saying these things didn’t happen but it seems that what you’re saying is that they happened but we shouldn’t talk about it because it wouldn’t look good. And you claim the “woke” movement is the one against free speech and thought?

You lie. PP knows so much about McGill they must know the city/province in which it is located

This SHOULD be the point of college - to be exposed to different cultures & ideas. Many colleges professors are left leaning (90+% donate to left leaning groups).

In many ways, colleges are more narrowly focus due to this lack of professor political diversity.
