Emory?

No, but Emory certainly is a left-leaning campus. I wouldn't send a child there. Its medical school has been known as a top-notch institution in the past--as in, the pre-2020 past.

A predominately patriotic campus where they proudly fly the flag and recognize those who served our country at halftime of many of the football games. Admissions applications are at record levels. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a connection?

Geez rik, triggered much?

Like you, RT, I obtained my college degrees when life was simpler, lectures stuck to course curriculum, and no one asked another's pronouns as they were apparent to those who could see. However, unlike you, I have no desire to ever step on a college campus in today's socio-political climate, even if only to reminisce and take in the beauty of the surrounding trees and traditional architecture. Thankfully I live in a town with lots of beautiful old trees and architecture.

I look forward to reading your next post.

Thank you, and yes, it seems rik is having a terrible day--God bless him. I have kids in college, so I visit campus from time to time. Their campus is quite lovely and has managed to remain a non-radicalized and pleasant place, which cannot be said of many large campuses. However, the classroom experience has changed on many fronts, especially with professors and lecturers over-sharing, canceling class and veering far off topic on a regular basis. I suppose it's slim pickings for faculty positions anymore; schools are bearing the fruit of the vicious ideological cycle they created (and then intensified.through DEI).

I went to college in the 70s. There was no ROTC and no Nazis at my school.

I attended Auburn in the 1990s, and we had ROTC guys on campus; they ran at 5:30 a.m. and had stellar reputations. Young men who believe in serving their country, which, for all its. imperfections, has been (in the past) a great beacon of hope to the rest of the world, are to be commended. Plenty of other young men are partying their brains out and are lucky to be awake for 10:00 classes. I have never seen nor heard of a nazi on the campus, either.

Fortunately, in my day you couldn't get a degree by partying for 4 years. You had to earn it.
