Do you ask the same question whenever a poster seeks colleges for their very liberal kid?


I don’t see that question much because most colleges are, by nature of their mission, open-minded places.

One of my liberal kids went to college in Alabama. We don’t hide from diversity and we don’t need our beliefs to be coddled or validated.


Actually I had the same question as the PP. Sure, your liberal kid is getting exposure to the real world and you should be proud. Most conservative people don't want to be in a situation where they are cancelled the moment they open their mouth. Places like the ivies and extremely liberal lacs are echo chambers for progressives. In fact most universities are. I think OP wants to find a place where their DC can find friends who have similar interests. Nothing at all wrong with that.



Well said.


What is one thing OP’s child could say in class that would get them canceled? I’m serious about this. What’s a conservative position, and don’t say economics because that isn’t true (look at models showing GOP economic models lose). Don’t say marriage because that isn’t true (look at current admin). Is he going to talk about climate change policy or going to deny climate change exists?

Aside from going back to former immigration levels and hating trans people, what is there for conservatives to talk about?

Why would they fear getting cancelled when this admin is canceled people left and right for things expressly allowed in our constitution?


Conservatives don't fear getting canceled by the administration - though I'd argue various actual conservatives get canceled by this administration all the time. They fear getting ostracized by peers or even shouted down the way conservative speakers (MAGA or actual historical conservatives) are all the time. If "canceling" isn't a concern why does it happen to a guy like Rich Lowry of National Review as recently as September 2024?

Depending on the flavor of conservative, don't lump us in with this administration. A real conservative decries their horrible use of cancel culture the same as they do on the left.

FIRE gives it a very high free speech ranking.


Stop trying to make FIRE happen.

DP but what does that even mean? FIRE has been recognized for years.


So glad FIRE exists after the ACLU basically abandoned their mission.
