What do you mean by "states hostile towards women"? What's going on there?
Texas, Florida, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma....
We are in Florida and the universities are fine, except for the loss of the New College (may RDS rot in hell for what he did to that school). But if they are interested in engineering they wouldn't have needed the free school.
If it's cool here, it's probably fine everywhere. Colleges are filled with kids from different places.
As long as it's not a state university. The Florida government is doing all in its power to put their state universities to work as conservative ideology factories.
They are trying, yes. I have a kid at a state school in a science major and she isn't getting any of that. The one in high school is getting ripped off but honestly they do call the kids by their chosen names and just ignore a lot of the culture war rules.
I think it's hitting the K-12 education department at the universities harder, and anyone coming here for an education degree is making a mistake already.
Ohio has constitutionally protected right to choose
And will vote for Trump in 2024 anyways.
Many states in the US are on an anti-abortion warpath. I live in North Carolina, which recently outlawed abortion after 12 weeks. I want to move elsewhere -- I feel unsafe and uncared for.
I have never been so grateful to live in the PNW. We're a bit of a hike from NC, but you'd be plenty safe here!
No sarcasm. Is this a question you want an answer to?
Otherwise I wouldn't be asking.
