I was constantly battling the programming they push on them now. It's disgusting.
Funny how entering the corporate world moved her back to the right. It doesn't take long for a lot of them to wake up once the real world kicks their arse.
My daughter attended a small liberal arts college. We experienced the same thing. She graduated as a mouthy leftist. It took less than a year of reality to flip that. She chuckles about that phase these days.

I don't pretend to know and honestly what does it even matter? It's a problem at every major university now and we need to get the s*** under control

It's a real problem and it's worse at Texas than most other schools in the SEC and you're out of touch if you don't realize that.
What pressure on students from the left? You are just vomiting crap on your keyboard now. Students are not pressured to believe in left leaning politics at UT Austin.

It doesn't, I was just curious. I guess you said "most" just to not call out Texas specifically as the worst. That's cool.

Exactly lol. I can't even count the number of times we've seen a bunch of nuts on TV and she says something like "I can't believe I used to think like that"
Everyone is a progressive until they start making money

Just drop it you're clearly far too triggered by this discussion. You have the right to believe what you want.

You sound out of touch.
My girl has a good head on her shoulders and I'm not worried about a professor shaking her from her values. Hell she's already independently recognizing some of the liberal political BS. At the same time, much as I hope the Longhorns win all the games I think there are better college experiences out there than what Austin provides. If she wants to go there she can, but as her dad I hope she chooses a different environment.

I don't have any experience with any of the other universities and what goes on in the campuses. It's a problem with all of them that's the important thing. It may be worse at Texas it wouldn't surprise me but I wouldn't know

That sounds about right. The university experience is about broadening your mind, and the real world will challenge the theories that you discussed in college.

Yes, all those big leftist fraternities and sororities in Austin are so woke.
It’s like Cal-Berkeley now

It might be more of an issue at places than it used to, but, and no flaming here, it’s seriously pushed at UT.
We took our son on a walking tour of the campus and an interest session at McCombs his senior year, and the tour guides introduced themselves and provided their pronouns.
It was a huge turnoff, and the only place we visited that did it.

So true

Being a top ranked academic institution and left leaning politics are highly correlated.

I don't doubt that unfortunately it's infecting the corporate world now as well

We did beat them in 90 with David McWilliam's team that went on to get drubbed by Miami in the Cotton Bowl (I was there). Just brutal.
Lol…that game suuuuucked…lol. But growing up rooting for a team at it low point definitely make you appreciate the teams we have now.

How many times have you posted the same joke? Is that 4 now?

I'm going to post it every time you scrubs come seeking attention from big brother during your bye week. #clowns
