<p>MOST CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL colleges ( the list look pretty consistent with those of Princeton Review’s and Encarta ) :</p>

<p>EXCERPT :</p>
<p>The top 10 conservative colleges in alphabetical order are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Christendom College in Front Royal, Va.</li>
<li>College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout; Mo.</li>
<li>Franciscan University of Steubenville in Steubenville, Ohio</li>
<li>Grove City College in Grove City, Pa.</li>

<li>Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.</li>
<li>St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.</li>

</ol>
<p>The colleges listed include traditional Catholic campuses, a robust Christian school, and an evangelical Christian university.</p>
<p>Young America’s Foundation insists that it is not a college rating organization. The top 10 list was produced in response to a frequently asked question of which colleges the organization recommends to those seeking conservative colleges.</p>
<p>Other schools the conservative organization recommends that are not liberal arts colleges include military colleges such as West Point and Annapolis.</p>
<p>Just prior to the release of the most conservative colleges, Young America’s Foundation listed “The Dirty Dozen” - the most bizarre, politically correct college courses in the nation, or what the Foundation called “troubling instances of leftist activism.”</p>
<p>Based on research on scores of courses from hundreds of the nation’s leading schools, “The Dirty Dozen” are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Occidental College - The Phallus</li>
<li>University of California-Los Angeles - Queer Musicology </li>
<li>Amherst College in Massachusetts - Taking Marx Seriously: “Should Marx be given another chance?” </li>
<li>University of Pennsylvania - Adultery Novel</li>
<li>Occidental College - Blackness</li>
<li>University of Washington - Border Crossings, Borderlands: Transnational Feminist Perspectives on Immigration</li>
<li>Mount Holyoke College - Whiteness: The Other Side of Racism</li>
<li>University of Michigan - Native American Feminisms</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins University - Mail Order Brides: Understanding the Philippines in Southeast Asian Context</li>
<li>Cornell University - Cyberfeminism </li>
<li>Duke University - American Dreams/American Realities </li>
<li>Swarthmore College - Nonviolent Responses to Terrorism</li>
</ol>
<p>Other courses that could have easily made the list ("Dishonorable Mentions”) include UC-Berkeley’s Sex Change City: Theorizing History in Genderqueer San Francisco; Cornell University’s Sex, Rugs, Salt, & Coal; Hollins University’s Drag: Theories of Transgenderism and Performance; and Hollins University’s Lesbian Pulp Fiction.</p>
<hr>
<p>I hasten to add that there is a problem with the above list as it applies to the most liberal colleges… They are simply highlighting ONE COURSE among the hundreds being offered on campus. You don’t and cannot judge the entire campus culture based on the ideas of a few professors and their bizzare courses. So thake their “liberal” list above with caution.</p>
