[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the consensus is that it’s Missouri that’s the issue.  Yet, people here love Rice and don’t post long missives about how women are treated under Texas laws.  Why not?[/quote]

People do complain about Rice and Texas. Young people like to be in Texas more than Missouri though.[/quote]

Both these states are extremely aggressive with their abortion bans and involving themselves in folk's reproductive business.  There's chatter out here about criminalizing iuds for goodness sake.

Suit yourself but sending your sons and daughters off to college in a state that might criminalize or severely restrict birth control does not seem like the wisest choice.[/quote]

The biggest concern is the peer group at these schools.

People who think MAGA is acceptable.

St. Louis is blue, and Missouri could be purple.

Liberal and progressive students should make a point of going to schools like Emory, Rice, UNC and Wash. U. and voting for Democrats.

If students care about democracy, they should be willing to make the supreme sacrifice of going to a great, low-key school in a comfy blue bubble in a state with a bad governor.

I think the idea of progressive students avoiding schools in blue bubbles in red states might come from Republicans trying to make purple states more red.

If we really have a bad civil war, blue students can then all transfer to UMass and SUNY schools.

Until then, they should try to make blue bubbles brighter and bigger. [/quote]
