College that won't inundate my kids with white guilt?

BYU.

Send em to Regent University. Regent prides itself on being both conservative and Christian.

Aren't interracial relationships still frowned upon, if not downright banned at Liberty University? If so, that sounds like the perfect school for your white snowflake, OP.

Which is ironic given that most of the Ivies discriminate against Asians.


THIS (white Yale grad here fwiw)

Pepperdine and another vote for BYU. But what I'm really saying is these are conservative places with mostly white faces. Because I have no idea what you think you are talking about other than to point out that any changes that have happened at Uvies since you graduated from one, are probably an improvement if you walked away with a feeling of white guilt that caused you to direct anger at your "oppressors". FYI real white guilt is about the lack of life obstacles and non-existence of aforementioned "oppressors"

The most highly regarded institutions of higher learning are home to some extreme views. OP, do you trust your child to draw their own conclusions about the world and their place in it?

You want a school specializing in the state of denial. Good luck.

College professor here. With the exception of an Oberlin or Wesleyan or Hampshire, you don't need to "worry" much. Today's college student while sometimes engaged in political issues, is more likely apathetic and certainly not guilt ridden. Those I've taught who are motivated by ideas of social change are, by contrast, generally happy and sometimes even more entitled and proud of themselves.
Honestly higher ed is depressing these days but not because you spend 50k and we make your kids feel badly about their skin color.

OP here. Thanks for the first reasonable response.


For the other nasty posters, we're not Christian, so Christian schools would probably be a bad fit. We have no problem with interracial and interethnic relationships. I realize on DCUM if you don't buy into the most extreme liberal orthodoxy that makes you a neo-Nazi, but the reality is many campuses have become very intolerant to viewpoints that don't align with basically, Jezebel and Huff Po.

Kind of like DCUM.

What about Vanderbilt, Emory, and Rice?

And so you're asking for advice here . . . why?

Well why are you here? Why not trust your child to go out there and sort through what is true and what is not. Notice that the suggestions are all for southern or religious schools. Wow, wonder why.

It's been some time since I went to college. I don't know what you're talking about. Could you elaborate? If you know this is happening, why don't you know on which campuses it's happening too?
