Are kidding about the “Choosing the Right College”, the ISI Guide? It is the only one I’ve seen that provides meanginful information worth paying for!

That guide is AMAZING. Is it “biased” in a conservative leaning way. Well duh! It’s put out by ISI!!! But what are the conservative “biases” on higher education? Well 1) Schools should have a “core curriculum” that covers American history, classical literature, etc. because these are topics that EVERY educated American should have a working knowledge of. Two people who gradaute from the same school with the same major should taken at least some of the sames classes or least covered some of the same material2) You CANNOT study and understand other cultures without knowing about our own Western culture 3) Fluff areas like Gender Studies, Multicultural Studies, and basically anything ending in studies are more often places for professors to indoctrinate students into their Marxist and/or feminist viewpoints rather than actually teach something meaningful 4) Bias against conservative viewpoints in modern schools is rampant

Given this, if you are a conservative or moderate or libertarian, someone who doesn’t like to have propaganda shoved down your throat, or you actually want to learn something in college beyong how to perform a job, this book is priceless.
