Carleton for recruited athlete

Anonymous wrote:It's very woke. I'm honestly not sure if it's like Kenyon and some of the NESCACs where the athletes have their own bro culture that exists as kind of a separate entity within the larger woke campus culture. It's possible that schools like Carlton and Grinnell are so woke that it overpowers any efforts by the athletes to establish a more mainstream subculture. If I had an athlete kid looking at Carlton, I would implore him to spend a weekend there, preferably staying with a current student-athlete, so he could get a better read on the campus vibe.

OP: This is precisely my concern. I guess we will visit and find out. Thanks

You sure have a lot of opinions about a school whose name you don’t even know how to spell.

Also, I admitted in the first line of my post that I don't know a lot about the school other than that it's woke, which I've never heard anyone dispute.

Anyone who uses woke in the perorative clearly neither understands the origins of the word, nor how they come across to others.

DP-It's pejorative. Hopefully you are not the one chastising the PP for their misspelling of Carleton. Also the PP used it correctly. It seems you are the one triggered by people who use the word woke. Not everyone that says it is using it as a pejorative, simply saying the culture is indeed woke which might not be appealing to some who consider the views and associated actions with that culture as nonsense.

What I’m trying to say, delicately, is that he is “normal” and wondering if that means he will be miserable as it might at many LACs.

Normal as opposed to what? It's always laughable to hear parents say that about their kids, like everyone else's kids are some kind of weird anomaly, get over yourself. If your kid is miserable it will be because they chose to go to an expensive tiny school in a town in the middle of nowhere with terrible weather. At least they'll be able to commiserate with the St. Olaf crowd at one of the 3 pizza places in Northfield.

Normal meaning he is not wildly introverted, intellectual, theatrical, transgendered, Hamas-supporting. You know, normal.

Isn't it annoying when the wokesters act like you're not allowed to use the word woke? Memo to wokesters: your day in the sun is over. We, the normal people of America, will use whatever words we damn please. And there is nothing you can do about it, because America is done with you freaks.

I didn't think I needed to bother correcting a phone typo that was obvious. And I'm not the PP who posted about the school spelling. You also obviously don't understand the true meaning of woke and how it has been hijacked by right wing politics, or else you do and that's your MO. Really sad.

What makes someone a freak? I think those using the word woke that way that several of you do is a big tell on what kind of person you are.

Yes, a normal person. A freak is someone who goes around lecturing others on what words they have to use, or cannot use, what pronouns, etc. In any event, you guys have worn out your welcome. Enjoy November.

Probably a poor fit for your family — try Liberty U or High Point. Much more aligned. You’re welcome.

NP- Are you so fragile that you get this spun up and invokes the tired old trope of "racist dog whistle after someone uses the word woke in it's proper context? WEAK person you.

It is a racist dog whistle, and yes, I will call it out every time. You can say whatever word you want to say, and the rest of us are free to judge you for it. Some of you are incredibly hateful people, and that probably includes yourselves. No well adjusted person goes on to rant about pronouns and transpersons like that. You sound miserable.
