    that's the 100,000 dollar question. I recall reading a study that said colleges played the game that they took into account what the average student paid years ago, added inflation and THEN ADDED all the grants and loans and kept the actual costs similar. I found that hard to believe.

    I have found that college wokeness means less tolerance of any view that isn't woke progressive bullshit. The Yale I attended was the formative environment of the Federalist Society-4 of the five members were all residents of the same residential college I was in (Morse) with Steven Calabresi and Lee Liberman (Otis) being class of 79 (both IIRC graduated a term later), David McIntosh (congressman from Indiana, unsuccessful GOP candidate for Governor) 80, and Peter Keisler (acting AG among other things) 81. So even though I believe there was mainly a leftist environment, the conservatives and libertarians had plenty of support. My two nieces are recent graduates,-it is no longer the case. It is oppressively woke

    Or the elder generation's views are oppressively out of date.

    That is often the case when some become the grandparent age.
    To far removed from the new and it's not the same as when they were kids. I heard often it's not the same as it used to be. Nor should it be.
    The only constant in life is change.

    Suggesting you may still be sane. :)
    The West Coast is the Best Coast. Spend some of the winter in Palm Springs and live the rest of the year from San Diego through North of San Francisco.
    If you aren't nurtured as an infant, you're screwed for life. We're damaging people by having them live in poverty as children.
    Yes, and the Church is well on its way out in Catholic countries like France. Even very Catholic Ireland legalized abortion. I guess rightwingers in this country have chosen abortion as the hill they want to die on.

    The West Coast USED TO BE THE BEST COAST... the weather can't be beat. But when taxes went crazy, gun control went radical, China Virus Tyranny ran wild, and all the other leftist stuff took over, it stopped being that.
    I agree that nurturing early in life is essential. But its just ONE of the components that lead to a happy, healthy, fruitful life.
    You are free to choose how to worship, or not worship, as you please. All Americans are.
    Now that you see indications that I am sane... can you show us some indications that YOU are?

    I have found that certain private, religious colleges tend to be more intolerant than most public or even secular private universities. Examples will be Liberty University where they literally have people follow you to see if you violate any of the rules. If you do, you get demerits. Get enough demerits, you are literally kicked out. Same with Oral Roberts University, Regents University, and a few others.

    For Yale Law School, it has the prestige in which you get a quality education., You literally pay for that privilege. If you graduate, pass the bar, you can be almost assured of having a junior partnership at any major law firm within five years, and a guaranteed salary in the six-figure range. But any college, graduate or undergraduate, is what you make of it and the opportunities therin. And that is what Yale Law School is about.

    The Federalist Society is no longer Federalist by nature. Instead of being a Constitutional, legal organization, it has transformed into a political one attempting to use law as the basis for their conservative arguments. Even they have argued for homicides to any physician or mother who had an abortion or even performed a miscarriage.
