I'll push back on the "not woke" part. I'm pro-woke, for sure, so there's that. There was an incident at Xavier not long ago where a kid made a homophobic (and hateful imo) remark online. It got back to admin and he was summarily expelled. There was disbelief among the Breezy Point (etc) crowd who didn't think it was such a big deal. The head of school said something like, This was actually an easy call for us. if you don't agree, you're free to find another school and we can help you with that process. It was bold and some might say "woke". I was impressed.

So this. Especially in comparison to behavior like this at Collegiate

That was truly awful. And it seems like Collegiate largely laughed it off. Embarrassing.
