[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a lot of considerations for our '22 high schooler.

Here is what we avoided -

- Most rabidly Republican states. Texas, Florida were no go.
- Schools that had lax Gun laws as mentioned in another thread, was a red flag - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campus_carry_in_the_United_States
- Party schools and schools with a strong Greek life 
- Schools that had incidents of  sexual harassment, rape or  violence against women etc, racist tweets by their professors, attracted White supremacist's. 
- [b]Schools that had a lower percentage of diversity - racial and gender[/b].

We also paid more attention to the ranking of the STEM major we wanted for our child vs the prestige of the school. [/quote]

Doesn’t look like you are seeking diversity, at least not in political views, but rather more group-think.[/quote]

No. I don't care to have Right Wing, Trumpian, Anti-vaxxer, COVID denier, NRA moron kind of diversity.  As I mentioned very clearly it is mostly racial and gender diversity which is important for us.  These kinds of diversities also automatically lends to economic diversity and acceptable cultural diversity. Now you will ask what I mean by Acceptable Cultural Diversity?   By that I mean the diversity of food, language, national origin, sexual orientation, attire, religious practices, arts etc.  I believe in human rights and women's rights.  I do not mean Misogynistic, InCel, Gun Fanatics, Polygamists, Racist and Homophobic, anti-Science and anti women's right, pedophile, Christian Right Wing people who watch Fox News.  :lol: [/quote]

There are plenty of misogynists, polygamists, pedophiles, and ant-science folks on the far left. It's just packaged differently. But if you don't want your precious worldview challenged, then by all means don't go to a college where this might happen.[/quote]

Watch out for those leftist myrmecologists. They study red ants not doubt.[/quote]
