[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am seeing a big rise in popularity in the southern state schools — Clemson, USC, UF, FSU, Bama, Auburn, etc. [b]If I recall correctly, U of South Carolina was one of the most represented schools among my daughter’s graduating class last year at a W.[/b]

Also: Pitt. [/quote]

As someone who grew up in the south and couldn't wait to get away from all of this, I find this so ironic and borderline laughable.[/quote]

True, D went to a southern school and couldn't get out of there fast enough[/quote]

I think part of the issue here is that DC area kids are really used to everyone being liberal/democrat.  People can say whatever they want because  99.5% of people will agree with them.  My kids spent a significant portion of their lives in a more politically mixed area.  Additionally, in extended family gatherings they have learned to respect others' opinions.  They are more comfortable living in an area with  a diversity of opinions.  I know that people will say you mean with racists, sexists, etc. but there is more to it than that.

A friend of mine has a daughter in a "southern school" and she said it best.  Child grew up in NoVA at a school that looks like the Model UN. Lots of diversity and true "politically mixed", as well as race, color, SES. Now, in her school, it is mostly white and [b]the "N" word and other racially offensive language is thrown around pretty freely[/b]. If that's the "diversity of opinion" you are talking about, no thanks. I don't have to tolerate that. Nor does anyone else, in the interest of "diversity of opinion."[/quote]

So not true, shame on you.  You are a bigot.[/quote]
