How would you place top schools on a scale of most liberal to most conservative?

It is not the Trump-supporting that I object to...it is the name-calling, lack of respect and intolerance.

What you may not realize is the micro aggressions against conservative kids/families. Even a poster describes teachers as tolerant and progressive. Why not just tolerant? The problem is that liberals tend to think any opinion different is racist or anti feminist and that is just not true. I see way more loons in the left promoting hate against conservatives. Tolerant should be plain tolerant.

Here, here. One can be tolerant OR progressive. One cannot be both.

True. One either tolerates grabbing women by the pussy, or one is progressive. One either tolerates not sending "foreign aid" to Puerto Rico, or one is progressive. One either tolerates punching news reporters, or one is progressive. It's really quite simple.

Were you referring to Clinton?

Which one -- the adulterer or the "deplorable"

It's not like we don't have a (proven and self-admitted) adulterer in the WH right now, so I would really refrain from using the word "adulterer" in this context, if I were you. Besides, since conservatives seem to claim the monopoly on values, I guess expectations from the Clintons were pretty low to begin with. What are the conservatives' excuses for the current leadership? We are all debating the curricular rigors of the various schools as we agonize over how to best educate our kids, and here we are, as a country, led by someone who has the vocabulary and mental capacity of a third grader (if that) and none of the charm and kindness. Nice role model for our kids to aspire to...
