Back to OP, you won’t find many schools with majority Republican student populations – people who attend college are usually at their most liberal when they attend college and become more conservative as assimilate into the real world. Of course, college professors rarely encounter the “real world: for long, so you won’t find many conservative professors (with the exception of adjuncts with real world experience). Nonetheless, even the most politically correct schools welcome debate on most issues that don’t involve race, gender or affirmative action. In addition, College Republican clubs are becoming increasingly active on campuses and provide a way for like-minded students to “come out” of the closet and find one another. Even the most liberal schools such as Berkeley still permit College Republican clubs.

This country has a long history of virulent racism, which has tilted the playing field of life in favor of majority whites. Those who support affirmative action believe that the remedy to this historical truth is to victimize contemporary white children. There will come a time when the victims of affirmative action seek compensation in some form for this state sponsored racial discrimination.

Look at county/state voting patterns ~ apply accordingly.

If you are looking for a "Yankee" Republican....then look at the Main schools...Colby, Bowdoin etc. That's definitely NOT conservative.

Affirmative action for conservative students at liberal arts schools? Hmmm, it might work.

Otherwise - this is your thanks to PP who clearly took some time to respond to you? Take your beefs with affirmative action over to the Political Forum.

Troll. Affirmative action is a hot issue in higher education - in case you were in a cave the past month.

Of course it's hot. But thanking a helpful PP by trying to drag her into a sh!t storm about your own pet peeve just kinda sucks. Grow up.

Trying to shut down a discussion thread that you find uncomfortable "kinda sucks" - no, it is plain bullying. What makes a discussion of "affirmative action" so uncomfortable for you?

Nope, I'm not going to take the bait/play this game with you.

It would help to know a bit more about what your child is interested in studying.
How about Sewanee?
Lehigh is a good school, especially if your child is interested in going into finance.
Vanderbilt, Rice, Notre Dame, Washington and Lee, and Wake Forest certainly have a mix of poltical beliefs.

Republicans have been the dumbest people I've met.
There's a bar in PG county where I take my out of country friends to see Reps.A fun night guaranteed-the Reps there mix up the countries, languages and continents for starters.
They do try hard to look smart, God Bless them.

If republicans are the dumbest people you've met, you really have to get outside the bubble and meet some of these Obama supporters:

YouTube is full of these videos, but you'd be hard pressed to find a single video showing non-Obama supporters who are so uninformed.

U.S. News ranks GMU at #139, UVA at #24, and VT at #72.

I'm curious whether you understand that individual programs are ranked differently than institutions in their entirety? And that the programs themselves may dramatically outrank the institution itself? If you don't grasp that fact, you may not be qualified to participate in this discussion.
