[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gleeful posters predicting the demise of Vandy have clearly never spent a few days in deep blue Nashville.  [/quote]

Agree. I don’t understand the Vandy bashing. Have all these posters actually experienced Vanderbilt and/or Nashville, especially in the last decade? There appears to be a contingent who believe that quality education occurs only in the NE. That sounds a tad closed-minded, obnoxious, and parochial. [/quote]

Vanderbilt provides an excellent education, [i]but if the citizens of Tennessee elect representatives who insist on laws that limit the rights of women, LGBTQ community members, non-whites, etc.,[/i] it's going to be perceived by many as a less desirable place to get an education and will lose strong applicants because of this.[/quote]

I'm a PP, I live in the District.  I'm certain that a lot of Never South of the Mason-Dixon Line! But abortion! PPs are residents of Arlington, Bethesda, etc.

May I judge YOU because you live in states that elected Republican governors?  Why don't you move? Is it OK if we think less of you because you share a state with many organized white supremacists in your western counties? Knowing this is absolutely true, why don't you move so you and your tender offspring can live in a pure, progressive locale like San Francisco?

Of course that's absurd.  And so are you.[/quote]

If Virginia and Maryland were to pass laws that showed little respect for women's ability to make their own difficult decisions, or that limited the rights of minority groups, I expect that their well-respected universities would suffer the same fate as any other state that does so. I'm not at all judging the people of Tennessee, just saying that it will be perceived as a less desirable place to live by many IF they pass such laws.[/quote]
