People do complain about Rice and Texas. Young people like to be in Texas more than Missouri though.

Both these states are extremely aggressive with their abortion bans and involving themselves in folk's reproductive business. There's chatter out here about criminalizing iuds for goodness sake.

Suit yourself but sending your sons and daughters off to college in a state that might criminalize or severely restrict birth control does not seem like the wisest choice.

You are overthinking it, and let the kids choose where they want to go to school based on the education they will receive. I’m pretty far left, but I learned a ton about people and life by spending time in red states during my younger years.

I don't disagree that learning about the locality of your college is part of your education. But I have college students and there is going to be sexual activity.

Pay attention to what is going on. State restrictions on birth control could obviously be worked around. Efforts toward criminalization for certain birth control activity is just a hard no. And what does it say to my daughters that they're being educated in a place that treats them like second-class citizens?

And also what does that say to my sons? I think it's insidious and disturbing and you need to think it through.

If you choose Missouri choose Missouri. It's not for everyone, regardless of the proximity of Illinois.

LOL you think the state bounty hunters in MO are letting your daughter leave ???

Parents are not paying attention to the changing landscapes ie laws in red states. By 2028 say good bye to all women’s rights in those states. You want to risk jail have at it the rest of us will protect our DD , I’m not over blowing this Republicans have bills right now in these states.

The biggest concern is the peer group at these schools.

People who think MAGA is acceptable.

Maga is hating on higher education right now. I don't know how many maga are interested in college.

I think you can get a fine education at this University but there seem to be some risks. You can get a very fine education at a lot of places that are not in Missouri.

In Texas, maybe you can go to college with students like this one who got her professor fired. It wasn't enough to have a discussion about the topic or disagree with her professor in class. The student videoed her and got her terminated. What a delightful environment for college!

If your definition of fun is frat parties, big football games, drinking until you pass out and puking your brains up, then yeah, WashU is definitely not fun. Better look elsewhere!

Wash U is a beautiful campus. St. Louis is fun, and the area Wash U is in is safe and lots to do. However, most college kids stay on campus anyway at most schools. Eduation is top. Better than UVA certainly. Peolple on the east coast are a little ignorant of anything not east coast, but in the midwest, Wash U is know and loved. Certainly no one outside the east coast talks about UMD or th schools in VA besides maybe UVA.

People on this board hate on everything and everyone. Prob because anonymous and they can let their aggression and meanness run amok.

Okay is there academic freedom? The story about Texas is so messed up. The lesson was about transgenderism in children's literature and a student said didn't align with her religious beliefs or something and got the professor fired. Not disagree with the professor. Got the professor fired.

You might not believe in evolution. You might not believe in transgenderism. You might not even believe in gravity. But an educated person should know about all of these things and not have their professors fired if they touch on them.

Right, people hate Emory more on this forum.
