Curious when you guys say you want to avoid a strong woke vibe if that means you don’t ever want to be confronted with the existence of racism, systemic or otherwise, misogyny, etc., or do you want to be in an environment where you can casually drop the N word without any fear of pushback? Just wondering.


how has dismantling dei impacted woke-ism on college campuses?


Apparently, people pretend racism and misogyny no longer exist and everyone casually uses the N word when referring to black people without any fear of pushback.

I didn’t think my kids drank in High School. I don’t know if my parents were aware that I did. Is it the kid’s desire to not drink in college, or the parent’s projection?

What are you going to do - move into their dorm to project? Your kid going to do what they are going to do when they want.

Since the OP wants "non woke" and non drinking, I assume this is the parents projection.

I dont know kids who care about the "woke thing", but if you're worried about pronouns, it's just not that big of a deal. Really, you kid can live using his preferred he/him pronouns and everyone will be fine with it. If you're worried about gay people being in the dorms .. yeah, you're too late. You were ALWAYS too late.

Based on what I have seen over the last 15 years, drinking among incoming college students is down significantly. Not completely obviously, but I think more and more schools will be a good fit for a nondrinker.

The schools such as Bucknell that have a huge Greek system influence will still be a problem.

Not OP, but I assume anti-semitic protesters dressed as furries and simulating s3x acts (i.e., Columbia).

And yes, that really happened.

“My kid doesn’t drink . . .”

Said one million parents, 99.9 percent of whom know their kids less than they think they do.
