As a mom to a child finishing her sophomore year of HS, believe me I am looking carefully at possible colleges for her. This woke crap scares the daylights out of me! Even her HS has some ideas that I’m not so thrilled with. We just have to keep fighting the good fight!

bring up your children properly my children are in university they don't fall for the woke crap , they call out their profs on BS and i'll back them 100% they relly can't believe what is happening in these so called schools
It probably has the most to do with what their major is. All three of my kids go to great schools in science fields and they have had minimal woke-run ins.
Two are at University of Pittsburgh and the other is at Duquesne University.
My son told me that they did have speaker come and talk to the nursing students about LGBTQ stuff. The speaker advocated for trans identified men to be able to play on women's sports teams and it was not received well by the students.
There may be more contrarians out there than you realize. The contrarians will save us all in the end!
Totally believe there are far more contrarians among us all than is commonly portrayed. We're all under an information black out and severe propaganda. Woke, dystopian hysteria feeds on this.
Whether the contrarians save us in the end depends on them effectively coming to an agreement and becoming organized, then convincing everyone else they are right . Where's Thomas Paine when we need him??
Maybe find the right tutors in local areas. Our youngest & oldest sons
skipped college for excellent reasons and benefited from local resources. They are the most intelligent, emotionally healthy, and educated of all of our bunch.
Yes, I agree with your thinking. Unless our goal is to just program automatons to fill bureaucratic positions, an independent, wide-ranging self education is a much better choice.
The content that they put out on their website is pretty compelling and thought-provoking. And I say thought-provoking because it challenges me. Many of the views coming from universities these days feel like they are invitations to let myself down when I should be pushing harder to do what is right.
When I despair at humanity’s condition—we have unlimited access to knowledge right at our fingertips and use it for cat videos and porn—I remember that places like Imprimus do exist.
They have great speakers as well- VDH- Peterson - Shapiro - Pompeo - if you don’t like it you don’t go- you don’t act like a child and ruin it for everyone else - which is common these days!

Glad to know there are a few places remaining without woke-run ins.

Two of my children went to St Johns college. They have two equal campuses. One went to Annapolis one to Santa Fe. Great education.
My son who was brilliant wanted to go. We could not afford it. It was $100,000/yr. What a great education!
