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...

Rather than cut off all ties with the south, let’s try to figure out how we got here so we can then determine how to get things back on track.

Did your list include Virginia? The guy you elected already said he wants to take action, op. Or, are you only targeting “those Deep South” states dcum likes to criticize as backwards? I think your faux purple VA is just like the others on your list. So, shall we write off VA and aaaaaaalllllll those VA based corporations? Are you ready to bail on Amazon?

We "got here" because white women keep voting against their own interests

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.

One more thing/ there is a LOT of money here in the south.

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

Sure. There's a lot of money in the South, but you don't seem to want to spend it on the people or resources there. And you sure as heck seem to send your kids outside of public education and your Southern flagships, if you can afford it and the kids can get in -- if you are wealthy, and if your kids want professional degrees.

Why is that?

Here is an easy one move your money from Schwab. They donate heavily Republican. Extremely easy to transfer funds to Fidelity or elsewhere.

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

What buffoons.

Why do you think a financial protest makes one a buffoon? Did you think conservatives boycotting Starbucks were buffoons? They made their protest known on social media.

DP You’re a buffoon because you think your useless rants on some mommy board will have any financial impact on southern universities. And it’s asinine to somehow associate a SC ruling with these schools.

Funny, I didn’t rant at all. I asked a question. One you seem unable to answer without a rant.

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

DC does indeed have a huge number of people from all around the country - and all around the world. But when they get here, they compare notes and start to realize how screwed up the rest of the country - and world is. We're not the ones in a bubble.

Why don’t you go find a dinner party and start ranting to Europeans about how restrictive their abortion laws are instead of gushing and seeking holiday tips.

Bubble my ass.

I’ll be at the nascar race today with my daughters who don’t need abortions. You do you.

Don’t stop at schools. Just stop at traveling as well. We drop mid to high five figures on vacations and I’m making sure we don’t go to backwards states with our money.

And yet you want white women to vote woke, which is specifically against their own interest.

Make sure you don't visit any wineries or drink wines from the red parts of states. Also, no "red" beef, chickens, pork, veggies and grains. No "red" plumbing fixtures for your house, no "red" lumber, no seasonal plantings from "red" nurseries.

Have you met Colorado?

(PS: Abortion rights are in their state law.)

Or other Pacific Northwest states? I can't think of anything we need from you, and yet we keep sending you federal money to stay afloat. Damn. That's a pretty bad deal for us.

I love how you think you are the only people who produce plumbers. You really ought to get out more.

Are the lumber in the blue part of CO and fell by recycled liberals?

I’d sure as hell rather drink French or California wine. What are you even driveling on about. Most rich people in this country are progressive and pro-choice, now it’s time to punish anti-women, anti-choice states with our purchasing power. That includes the subsidies we have been giving to loser red states.

But France only has abortion on demand for 14 weeks; maybe you should look into plonk from upstate NY.
