[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kid did not insult the college choice, or UT Austin.

The kid stated that he would not want to live in the state of Texas and doesn't understand why your kid would.

This is not a college issue.  This is a culture/political issue.

I know that I had concern last year about my daughter going to college in a red state when abortion bans were popping up.

I have these same issues. But if someone told me they had made a decision to go to a school in that state, I would keep my mouth shut and not question the decision. They are not changing the decision at this point so it is not a necessary comment. Particularly from someone you don't well. I have close friends who I would trust to make comments like that (though they too would probably make the comment when there was a chance to course correct). But randos like this just need to play along.[/quote]

I'm not claiming that this classmate was in the right.  I'm just clarifying for folks that this isn't somebody insulting the school.  It isn't that different from somebody telling somebody going to Cornell that they couldn't go to school some place that cold....[/quote]
