Such a foreign thought to so many of the posters here, but it happens every single year.

No one is doubting that.

That said, as a woman who joined the army for the college scholarship and paid for everything, 100%, I still have enormous respect and admiration for my mother and if she thought going to x state for college would endanger my health or was against her principles, I would have listened to her.

My girls are the same. They would hear out my rationale and respect my opinion.

My spouse and I cancel each other’s vote. My kids do not vote the same either one of us so, we respect each other’s decision including going to school in states that don’t support our decisions.

NP here. I couldn’t be in a marriage like that. “people are their principles”.

I know my kids and they would respect my feeling on their choice of college even if they were paying for it themselves.

You realize you can respect someone’s feelings and opinions even when you disagree with them.

Yes, of course. But if I said “no schools in Texas - please - I don’t think it’s safe for you” she would respect my feelings and go elsewhere. She’s a fiercely independent woman but respects me.

There is NOTHING unsafe about a school in Texas. Keep going with that false narrative in your head. If you are wealthy enough to send her to an OOS, you are wealthy enough to take her to a state which will permit abortions. Again, being an adult is about respecting differing opinions.

Besides these unsafe schools are not going to miss your kid anyway, they are that competitive and the slot will be filled. So you are not really threatening those schools anyway.

Then why are you so upset and ranting? I wouldn’t send my kids to college in Texas either, especially my daughter. If you’re so sure it won’t matter then calm down.

These dolts actually think the schools in question are going to be harmed by their snowflakes not applying. Such an odd sense of self-importance.

Then why do you care so much? If you really thought there was no danger of declining applications, you wouldn’t be so concerned. I suspect you’re worried it’s likely.

+1.

Okay, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.

There is nothing in the PP's response that could be classified as "upset and ranting." OTOH, this forum is full of insane loons who are upset and ranting, over and over again. It's clear who needs to calm down, and it isn't the PP.

It is perfectly okay with me - preferable in fact - if the right wingnuts and forced birthers don’t try to send their kids to my state (California). I’d actually applaud their absence.

Why do the right wingnuts care so much on this thread that we’re avoiding their few good colleges in their crappy states? Be glad, right wingnuts! Without our kids applying to your few good school, your kids might actually get in.

Really? I think you’re ranting. Why do you care that I won’t let my kids go to school in a red state? If you told me the same thing in reverse - that you wouldn’t let you kids go to a school in my state I would cheer!!

Did you just say there is nothing unsafe about schools in Texas? That’s pretty disgusting 🤮 given what just happened in Uvalde. It’s like you are living in some racist/misogynistic bubble. It’s unlikely that any progeny of yours will actually get into UT, but have at it.

Their kids don’t go to college, they are waiting for the factory jobs to come back. That’s why those colleges have anywhere between 75-90% out of state students.

Rice graduate here, daughter will graduate in 2023 from Rice, but thanks for the assumptions.

What happened in Uvalde was a tragedy but not germane at all to this conversation.

Proud GOP here with kids who graduated debt free from trade school. You factory job slammers and those who look down on trade school attendees who leave school for six figure jobs with no debt will be crying when your car or AC or plumbing goes out.

Since we are part-white and foreign, I would never have considered those racist uncultured backwaters ANYWAY.

This just seals the deal.

I am sorry you dislike so much of America. Why are you here?

So you’re okay with the “racist uncultured backwaters” as a definition of America?!!

And yes we will boycott.

Great!!! Just do it. We are shaking and quivering. Homes all over the south are going on the market, we are so terrified of your economic power.

Nobody cares.
