Thoughts on the University of South Carolina?

[Anonymous]

Isn’t that exactly what you expect conservatives to do in liberal schools?

You realize there are intelligent students there, it’s not anti-intellectual. Also the campus is quite liberal. The president of the school sued the state governor over COVID rules.

Racist were protesting on campus (it’s next to the capitol) and students counter protested.

There is racism but it’s not the school, teachers, administrators. It’s not the culture of the school it’s the culture of the south.

Are you saying the Ivy League schools have no racism? Sexism? Asian hate? Really?

You think there are valuable intelligent non racist conservatives?

Why don't you read the prior posts and dial down your sense of conservative victimhood? A prior comment noted that a DMV student who matriculated at South Carolina (presumably willingly, presumably understanding the campus was more conservative than many others given its region) was surprised and dismayed by the racist and sexist and anti-LGBTQ and anti-semitic and anti-intellectual attitudes -- not by "conservativism" (they're not synonymous) -- he encountered there among many of the fellow students, and transferred after a year. Yes, that's probably less the case for the university's teachers and the administrators (not generally a bigoted crowd) than it is for the students, who are a product of their state/region, and those attitudes probably aren't universal among every single member of the student body - but they were pronounced enough that it drove that kid to transfer. An experience other DMV students might want to bear in mind.

You can keep moaning about unfair life is to conservatives -- which in view of the prior postings suggests to readers here that when you say "conservative" you actually mean sexist, racist, homophobic and anti-semitic (do you really want to be championing those attitudes?) -- or you can do what most elected conservatives do and draw a clear distinction between conservative thinking and bigotry (presumably what you mean by 'valuable intelligent non-racist conservatives'). Up to you. But espousing two conflicting positions in your one posting is incoherent -- and is actually not a great ad for the kind of defensive boosterism that USC attracts.

The Murdaughs have a long history with USC. Just sayin.

You can keep moaning about unfair life is to conservatives -- which in view of the prior postings suggests to readers here that when you say "conservative" you actually mean sexist, racist, homophobic and anti-semitic (do you really want to be championing those attitudes?) -- or you can do what most elected conservatives do and draw a clear distinction between conservative thinking and bigotry (presumably what you mean by 'valuable intelligent non-racist conservatives'). Up to you. But espousing two conflicting positions in your one posting is incoherent -- and is actually not a great ad for the kind of defensive boosterism that USC attracts.

Nobody said anything about victimhood except you, and 1 student could not handle being around other students who expressed racist ideology. They weren’t even a victim of it they just couldn’t stand that it exist. Seriously you need to read white fragility.

Black students literally can’t go to any university except an HBCU.

Is it true there is a Frat that is made up mainly of boys from the DMV? Are they not welcome elsewhere?

And see racism, yes. GMAFB if you don’t know this. Even the liberal Ivy NE schools. Black students deal with this EVERYWHERE.

Yes there are frats for just Sc students. There are some DMV frats and then there are frats with a mix.
