Sending a kid to college in a state that is trying to ban abortions

^^^yes.

In my old age I have decided boycotts of geographic areas probably aren’t a good way to change minds. It is possible to change the culture from the inside, and not always in a confrontational way.

It is easy to avoid those with whom we disagree. Making them our neighbors, and then friends, and spending enough time with them they don’t find our different views as outrageous as they once imagined can be an interesting exercise… in my personal experience. At the least there is an opportunity to support those with minority views, who don’t have the ability to get up and leave a geographic locale.

College students shouldn’t be expected to work for social change, but if they choose to do so I certainly support them.
