Look No Further

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

High School Seniors out there who have political aspirations need look no further than Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia. Our thanks to Red State for pointing to this rising star of education. In his article entitled, The Future of a Conservative Political Movement, Mark Kilmer wrote:

“The future of conservatism is being fashioned, in part, at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia — a non-denominational Christian college… Its purpose is to educate the next generation of Christian politicians, and the connections and internships for the undergrads are great.”
