It’s going to be a cold day in Dixie!!!

What buffoons.

Yet you are upset enough to post here.

No really I think it’s hysterically funny and you don’t realize that part of the culture legacy in the south is NOT being told what to do, particularly by smug northerners.

Send your mail! Form groups at your community organizations (ok that was mean you don’t really have those), and write those letters!

Sure, not being told what to do but living off blue state money like a parasite.

Bless your heart!

Yes, actuI do have final veto power over where my kids go to college. I can’t believe you don’t! I guess your kids don’t respect you at all. That’s so sad.

Sad, you don't have faith that your kid could cut her apron strings and choose a college on her own and figure out how to pay for it to get away from your maniacal tyranny.

Great!

Will be easier for my kid to get into UVA!!

Seriously you will skip a top college like UVA, Rice, etc in these states for the ruling of the govt in that state? It’s not the colleges’s fault and they are not going to leave the state either. Anyways , your kids are only in school for like 6 months anyways…

What they type here and what they do when their kids get rejected from the other schools because of increased competition is very different.

These Red state Universities that today denied our daughters' their civil rights will go belly Up when we pull our daughters and son's college Apps

They have literally already committed the funds from this years admission yields to formulate their staff budget,the health insurance payments for their faculty, their returee pensions and the payments on their debt

The price for treating our daughters as less than equal citizens and exposing them to a Felony record is mass default to:

Tulane, Emory, Vanderbilt, Wash- U, Furman, Texas- Austin, Ole Miss, University of Kentucky... on and on and on

Each and every family will be taking its 200,00- $ 250,000 ( 1/4 million dollars ) tuition elsewhere.....

Your states will return to being economic backwaters

If your kid planned to go to one of those schools, they already knew the politics of the state.

Do you really think a bleeding heart liberal kid whose choices are dictated by abortion rights planned to go to one of those schools in the first place and now feels so shocked by the decision they must bail at the last minute (it’s nearly July and school starts in mid-August)?

Nobody is withdrawing in July. Nobody. Where would they even go?

DP. Who says anything about withdrawing at the last minute? I decided three years ago that our DDs weren't going to attend red state schools. Sealed the deal when one of them visited Duke and remarked that the buildings were stunning but that the tour guide was saying stuff that did not indicate a high level of education--I can't remember what it was exactly, maybe vocab used wrong or errors with info involving percentages...

If my daughter gets raped and can't get it taken care of, then ya, not sending my kid to one of those states.

So much regional hatred here.

Crazy because dc is a place people come together from all over the union.

Did you ever stop to think that someone else can take those seats you choose to vacate?

DP Are you familiar with the phrase "out of state tuition?" It's different than what residents pay. Universities tend to like it.

So only people from Alabama will go to colleges in Alabama?

Look, I know what Alabama is like. UAB supports an incredible medical hub and great medical education. Alabama worked really hard to build that. They were rightfully proud of it.

But ... all that now comes with even bigger asterisk. So sure, if you have kids in Mississippi whose parents can afford out of state tuition, then maybe? But it's cheaper to go to Mississippi. The real money was coming from states not in the South.

And those wealthy Southerners are not going to want their kids' degrees to come with that big asterisk. Why would they pay OOS for Alabama, when they could afford a degree not tainted with the yee-haw hillbilly work?

You all have lost the progress you were working on for decades. Decades, and generations.

I'm a Northerner with a degree from UAB, which I knew because I grew up a cardiac kid, and the father-son Kirklin team in Birmingham with the clinic designed by I.M. Pei had perfected the technique I needed.

I spent a lot of conversations trying to explain the "new Alabama" to people. It was a damn hard sell. But if that was hard, just think about trying to sell something nobody wants to buy anymore. Sorry, you guys lost the ball on this one. That's something you will have to deal with. I guess it's worth it to you. Oh, well.

Judging a school based on your tour guide? Okay.

The schools we toured proactively embraced diversity. As a poverty lawyer, I realize that not every student comes to college from the hallowed halls of Dcumlandia where all snowflake teens speak the Queen’s English.

While I think Duke is overrated, I think it’s rather short-sighted for a prospective applicant to write it off entirely based on the tour guide. That shows bias…and I thought we Dems were better than that.

Best for your child to stay in their bubble.

Well, I am skeptical this will have the impact you predict.

But apart from that, there is a huge ambivalence in the south about the growth and blue state migration.

I think there are a lot of people who are ok with it slowing down; actually I don’t think that I know it.

That’s not to say that the abortion laws are part of a strategy to slow things- they aren’t.

But I don’t think many southerners woke up this morning worried that the flow of blue state migrants and tourists will slow.

Time will tell.

That’s great! She should go to school with a planned parenthood gift card.

I think it’s smart that she avoided this south. There’s a correlation with these backwards states and their abortion laws and more lax gun laws. Between the two, that girl is smart to avoid the south altogether.

More to the point: each family that pulls their college App pulls 200K- 250K ( 1/4 million dollars) from the budget of these schools in states that will make our daughters felons for exercising self autonomy.

drop in each schools admissions yield will kill their budget and ability to attract top faculty, pay good salaries to profs they want to attract, offer health insurance to faculty ( a Universities biggest expense) and service their debt on the buildings they have poured millions into to attract more students

This is not 1972. Women do not need to " ask for our rights" we will just economically crush each state that denies them

I mean, genuinely top faculty (especially global top faculty) aren’t going to live in these states. Those who aren’t women have wives and daughters too. The classes will be even more likely to be taught by adjuncts.

People love living in TN, especially Vanderbilt faculty. You are just delusional - you have no idea how much nicer it is to live in a safer, prettier and more gentile environment

Not when it is known that you are a second class citizen, at best.

It’s funny because most well to do southerners would think you live pretty crappy in dc.

Without the missing comma, your statement makes the opposite point.
