Hillsdale and Wheaton (the one in Illinois) are fringe pretending to be more intellectual than Liberty but about the same

Sewanee is not conservative. It’s Episcopalian.

Comparing Hillsdale to Liberty is ridiculous. Hillsdale is a rigorous LAC with high incoming student stats.

Also, Wheaton and Liberty aren't remotely the same.

I said Wheaton in Illinois. Not Wheaton in Massachusetts. These two Wheatons have nothing in common.

PP. I know what you said and I stand by my statement.

I have worked with Liberty grads and Hillsdale grads. All lightweights lacking critical thinking skills.

And incredibly sheltered and uninformed.

No you haven't, troll.

Both evangelical . “Biblical perspective”, “biblical doctrine” schools. How is that not remotely the same? One has old buildings and one is new? One is big and one small? The question was about being conservative, not the campus or size.

Does anyone know what the political vibe is like at William and Mary? Is there a healthy mix of thoughts or does it lean so heavily one direction that half the people have to keep quiet about what they think?

Congratulations!

Congrats! Really underrated school, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

DD at Baylor. Incredible community, you have to experience it to understand but it’s unlike anything I have seen. They have first year experience down to an art. Congrats, your kid will love it and Sic ‘em!

If it leaned that heavily, how would half the people have to keep quiet???
Anyway, it's a rigorous, challenging thinking school--everyone is challenged about what they think.

If you feel you “have to be quiet about what you think,” you should probably look in the mirror and ask yourself why.

See lots of people trying to hide anti-lgbtq, anti-poor, anti-URM and anti-women views under the veil of “conservative values.”

Without knowing what that half the people think that they have to keep quiet, it is hard to answer.

I think maybe this is a perfect example of what I don't want in a college. I was just asking if it is a "thinking" college with a healthy mix of viewpoints and ideas or a "group-think college." The question wasn't about anti or pro views of anything. It wasn't even asked from a conservative viewpoint. Instead of clarifying the question, there was a rush to judgment and pinning of labels. I don't want that in a college. I want a "thinking" college where students ask clarifying questions instead of responding with unhealthy labels. I don't believe people are so awful that I need to always assume simple questions are rooted in hate. But, if it works for you, that is fine. I'd like to assume you are coming from a place of kindness in your response.

Yes, this is an example of why people feel they have to keep their mouth shut. That rush to judgement and character assasination stops all conversation and eliminates good conversations and opportunities for growth.

Sorry. The question wasn't asked well. I mean, do people respect all opinions? Is there healthy dialogue. Or, is the climate very one-sided.

Friend. You post a lot. And you often have something worthwhile to say. But because it is *always all-caps screaming," it's pretty grating. Please turn that feature off and try to learn about lower-cap letters and how they can help your textual input.
