[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas Christian University is off the list for very predictable reasons[/quote]

Such as? [/quote]

DP. Are you asking for real or baiting the PP above you?

It's Texas, which has just recently swung so far right that women are racing to neighboring states for abortions and voting rights are under serious attack. Not to mentiom the hysteria in school boards over so-called "critical race theory."

I get it -- none of that is IN colleges there. But it's become a toxic environment overall in that state. I wouldn't let my kid go there unless it was sole home to the one magical college that was the only one on the planet teaching the only subject on the planet in which DC was interested. Maybe not even then.[/quote]

DP.  Jeez - you don't sound overly dramatic at all.  I was also wondering what the cryptic "predictable reasons" poster was getting at.  Not all of us have clutch our pearls at the idea of Texas.   :roll: [/quote]

:roll: right back at ya. You knew what that PP meant as soon as you saw "predictable." You knew it was about the entire climate there.[/quote]

Wow, the chip on your shoulder must be enormous.  I had no clue what that PP was talking about and in fact, assumed it was something about rich kids, or the Greek system at TCU, both of which have been mentioned here before.  I'd actually love to know what the PP meant, and not what YOUR hyper-partisan interpretation is.  Maybe next time, let people speak for themselves?   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

The anti-choice vigilante enforced law recently enacted in texas is huge news.  How could you have no clue about it and how it might influence reactions and opinions about going to texas for colleges students and anyone else?  If your student is clueless about this, I would suggest filling them in.[/quote]

Good grief.  Still nattering away about this?  Of course I'm aware of the Texas law, as are my kids.  However, in a thread about COLLEGES, that's not the very first thing that comes to mind.  Maybe get off your one-issue soapbox and let people talk about the COLLEGES their kids are and are not applying to.  You still haven't even allowed that PP to say what she was going to say about TCU.  Go away and take your politics to the political forum.[/quote]
