In issuing the warning, writer Mark Pulliam isn’t merely referring to the effects of migrating Northeasterners or Third World immigrants on conservative areas.
Pulliam learned this firsthand after relocating to Blount County, Tennessee, from Austin, Texas. Beginning with the example of his small town’s Presbyterian-affiliated liberal arts college, he writes that,
" my wife and I imagined the school was comparable to Hillsdale College, except nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. My wife and I quickly learned the reality is otherwise when a supposedly faith-based lecture we attended on campus was devoted to the teachings of Karl Marx rather than Jesus Christ. The lecturer, who teaches “religious studies” at Skidmore College, is the daughter of the host school’s equally-leftist campus minister.my wife and I imagined the school was comparable to Hillsdale College, except nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

We were also chagrined to learn that the local public library — in a county that voted for President Trump in 2020 by a margin of 71-27 percent — maintains a curated “antiracism” reading list that includes controversial fare such as Ibram Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist,” Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility,” and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me.”
… Even though the area is overwhelmingly Republican, the local paper (owned by a national chain headquartered out of state) is unfailingly and obnoxiously left. The editor admits that one of his “life’s greatest disappointments” was being interviewed by The Washington Post and getting turned down for the job. The local paper is a WaPo wannabe, albeit relying heavily on Associated Press reportage. It consistently boosts leftist ideas, locally and nationally.
