>>Also, the best colleges reputation wise tend to be the most uniform in their liberal views....<<

Assuming this is true, why do you think things have turned out this way? Why is it that the Ivy League and the top LACS are all left-leaning, but when conservatives create and run a college it often ends up resembling Bob Jones?

It's a free country out there. No law says that a great college must be politically and socially liberal (although some would argue that strict and intolerant conservative thought and scholarly free enquiry are mutually antithetical). Rather than bemoaning the abundance of liberal thought at the current high-end schools, conservatives should found and build their own high-end schools. But for some reason they keep coming up with Bible schools.
