[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Related question: Why are conservative/RW posters on the rise here boosting colleges in the south and places like Ohio, all the while decrying other schools as being too "woke", or having too many "pink haired boys."

We see you and know your agenda.[/quote]

I don't have an agenda, but I don't think it is productive to just dismiss colleges in red states outright. As a fairly liberal parent with two children going to college in Ohio, I think it's important to recognize that no state is entirely "red" or "blue." For example, Ohio passed a constitutional amendment ensuring access to abortion last year. Additionally, one of Ohio's Senators is Sherrod Brown, a progressive senator who has consistently advocated for liberal values. (By the way, his spouse, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer-author Connie Schultz, is a professor at Denison). [b]Broad generalizations aren't helpful. I'd encourage people not to rule out schools in red states without taking a closer look.[/quote]

I agree with you, but those posters I'm referring to aren't doing these colleges any favors with their rhetoric (pink haired boys, etc.)  On the other hand, some posts have made Denison sound appealing and worth doing some research on.

And kudos to Sherrod Brown and his wife for fighting the good fight. However, it was also a Republican senator from OH who, just this weekend on a Face the Nation, opined that  Viktor Orban has made some smart decisions for his country, one of which was seizing control of universities and putting them in foundations run by his cronies. Aren't we already seeing something similar happening in Florida, and perhaps Indiana, others as well?
