[quote=Anonymous]It's not a ridiculous question at all.  A wise parent would want his/her son/daughter to be exposed to a wide variety of viewpoints at college and for diverse views to be credibly represented by respected members of the faculty as well as students.  That's what college is for.  Members of minority groups can feel unwelcome or uncomfortable speaking out absent a "critical mass," as the Supreme Court says (but may not say after this Term), and that includes people with minority political viewpoints.  We all know that most of the most selective SLACs are monolithically liberal, and it is a shame.

OP, I'm in the same boat as you.  I just want DS, who is a sophomore, to have some balance when he gets to college.  But he deems himself a far-left liberal (which can  be forgiven at his tender age).  He recently made his way onto College Confidential and refuses even to think about any schools that aren't identified there as being far left.  Middlebury and W&M, for example, didn't make the cut.
