PP, do you bring this vitriol to discussions about being "only exposed to such a small part of the ideological spectrum" at Bob Jones, Hillsdale, or Liberty? My guess is no. You are probably aware that a senior GOP woman was removed from House leadership because she didn't adhere to the belief that Trump won the '20 election, but perhaps not. I definitely didn't see that as an "actual diverse" move or something demonstrating "critical thinking skills." Finally, the GOP ongoing response to the pandemic is not one rooted in public health or science. Fortunately Biden was elected to reverse the downward governance slide in managing COVID. Are you aware that a new study estimates nearly a million people in the US died from the virus? I will take the Oberlin bio major over the Hillsdale one any day of the week. The latter probably doesn't even subscribe to the fundamentals of evolution, let alone germ theory.[/quote]
It is exactly this this idiocy I am talking about.  Have you actually ever had an intelligent conversation with someone with whom you disagree?  It is precisely this closed-mindedness that leads to traditional LACs becoming irrelevant.  And that is a shame.
(My comment was not specific to Oberlin.  My alma mater is a more highly rated SLAC with the same issues.)[/quote]
