Grow up.

Stop with the threads about people not being conservative enough or religious enough.

If you want religion in college there are private colleges for that. Otherwise it's comparative religions at a public university. Liberty comes to mind. Sucky education, but religion they got that down.

You don't get to decide how much religion or your ridiculous views get taught at public colleges. JUST LIKE PUBLIC LOWER SCHOOLS>

You seem to have forgotten the USA is made up of people of many religions not just your version of Christianity. Which by the way at this time needs some serious reckoning. Because the Bible says "Thou shall not lie" "thou shall not steal" Yet Trumpers seem just fine with both of those. Hypocrites!

NP. OMG, overreact much? Nothing in the OP called for your hysterical reaction. Clearly, it is you who needs to grow up.

NO I am tired of conservatives thinking every college needs to meet their specific needs. They do not. The object of college is to get out and get a job. Ultra conservative views do not belong in public colleges. You want that head to religious private colleges. That is what they are for.

Send your kid to a school like Liberty and see what kind of education they get. Garbage.

I agree with you, but funny you don’t mention ultra-liberal views as also being somehow acceptable at public schools. They are not.

Honestly, the only one I know like this is Berkeley.

Oberlin, Middlebury, Brown, Yale...

I went to Yale. Yes, it's liberal but there is also a healthy conservative presence on campus. These schools intentionally have diversity.

Most schools are libby. If you don't pay attention to it and laugh at them than who cares? My conservative kid at UVA doesn't notice anything at all aside from laughing at the occasional lib emotionally howling for some random cause. Your kid will be fine.

Administrations and student body are two different things. you need to ask that question when inquiring. I would say student body tends to be more conservative at most VA colleges.

All I know is that GMU is left to far-left leaning. They have mandatory DEI classes, there are pro-Hamas protests, there is a BLM monument in the campus and there are zero conservative student groups.
They only "conservative" thing you hear there is some lone pro-life activist who hands out fliers and then all students saying they are being harassed.
Hope colleges more to the south like VT or UVA are more moderate.

And, forgot to mention, I think the right wing has gone way way right in the past 20 years.

Even when I was in college in Virginia, and most of us considered ourselves Republican, we protested the KKK coming to town and were fine learning about black history, etc...

VT definitely

I’d pick GMU for a more conservative leaning student.

Yes, there are liberal protests but you’ll find them at any VA public university. GMU’s law school, and some other departments lean conservative.

I think CNU is center to conservative. Military background in history and administration, preppy, many students seem religious / Christian in comparison to NoVA and I’m not sure they have Hillel, just not as diverse as other schools.

Nice to see you’re so proud to have a kid who’s already dead inside. Mummy and money make it all better!

I'm sure it's a bit different now, but still think the privates are more conservative, and VMI is super conservative.

VMI is conservative? Weird. Military types tend to be very liberal.

No, the opposite is true

Not really. Every person in the military I know votes D except one officer. The rank and file generally vote liberal.

If everyone you personally votes D than it must be true across the entire military.

Moron.

Lol, the ability to critically think and make decisions for themselves is dead inside only to deranged robots. You have issues, seek help.

Who did they name their law school after?

There is also Patrick Henry College.

What Makes Patrick Henry College Different?
Patrick Henry College exists to glorify God by challenging the unacceptable status quo in higher education, lifting high both faith and reason within a rigorous academic environment; thereby preserving for posterity the ideals behind the "noble experiment in ordered liberty" that is the foundation of America.
