[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If more than 90% of the colleges are controlled by liberals (many of them are very liberal), almost no conservatives are allowed or can take right wing positions in these colleges, what's wrong with a tiny number of colleges to turn conservative? If you do not admit that liberals have taken over colleges across US, you are delusional and do not live in reality. Same thing for news media. Everything needs something to balance in search for truth. [/quote]
There's a strain of conservativism that is intellectually modest, believes that tradition typically is undergirded with wisdom, and accepts change only in small increments, testing as it goes. "It may take us longer to get there," such conservatives say, "but we'll make fewer missteps along the way." There are a number of colleges and universities, including some quite prominent ones, that largely embody that conservative tradition in their search for truth, among them, the University of Chicago, Columbia, Claremont McKenna, and St. John's College.

There's a separate strain of conservativism, currently ascendant and embodied by the likes of Trump, DeSantis, and Hillsdale College, that is anything but intellectually modest or truth-seeking. It's fascistic ethnonationalism with a misappropriated moniker.

It's important to recognize the differences between these two strains of conservativism and evaluate each on its own merits.[/quote]
