[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a HS school junior looking for high academic colleges in the eastern part of the country, where conservative views are valued and respected.   One school that we hear fits that mold is Washington & Lee.  Please share other suggestions.  Thank you![/quote]

I would worry less about finding a conservative school, and more about finding out if conservative groups can flourish at the place.

I know of one school where anyone who joins a conservative group becomes a target, which means the school is crap because ideas can’t be discussed. It is more like a 1984 novel than a place of learning. I’ve seen religious schools that I think are the same way, no learning. No talking about other points of view.

What impresses me is when you see schools where religious groups and conservative groups flourish because it’s a real place of learning and discussing. Those colleges are top tier! 
Our country wouldn’t work as well if we all thought the same thing.  But we have to listen and think and discuss to get to those best ideas. Real colleges is supposed to do that, find those schools, not the indoctrination schools where they train you to be a non-thinker![/quote]

Have you checked out FIRE's College Free Speech Rankings? That would get a good index of what you're talking about

Nah, they only focus on letting one side speak.[/quote]

That's why they rate Wheaton College (IL) so poorly right?[/quote]
