carry on.


Keep telling yourself that. You live in a bubble.



The woke keep canceling words when they get called out. Defund the police, Country founded in 1619, CRT for elementary school, Woke, etc.
Then they revise and attack, like the Thought Police, culling anyone that doesn’t fall in line and behave the same.

If you don’t like what’s happening, pull ur kids out


I think that the PP was referring to the left in general, and not Landon.


Last time I checked, the right was the side banning these ideas.

This is an oxymoron


Why? This is the case in many liberal universities. My DC who had stats strong enough to be considered for many ivies decided not to apply because he didn't want to be "politically correct" in everything he wrote, said.


Can you give me an example of “political correctness” that is unacceptable to you? It’s been my experience that when people complain about “political correctness” it’s usually just about not wanting to extend someone respect or courtesy, even when you happily extend the same respect or courtesy to others.

Not being able to argue or protest against abortion is oppression. Your friends being turned off by you doing so is not oppression. Being asked to use specific pronouns is not oppression. Not being allowed to make a good faith argument that non-binary genders are a social construct is oppression. Your friends being turned off by you doing so is not oppression.

The op-ed OP linked only gives one example, which is a kid who left the water polo team rather than cover up his upper thigh MAGA tattoo. It’s an interesting question and I think I come down on the side of the kid, that he should have been allowed to play with his tattoo. But if you want me to believe that would be the “conservative” position if a Texas football player had a “trans rights” tattoo…

Certainly taking the tattoo story and wrapping it in a bunch of whining and hysterics, as this kid did, suggests he’s not interested in arguing about principles and values at all. He just wants to make memes for the MAGAverse. But that’s not a good way to make friends and influence people IRL.


PP here. My DC is pro-life. He spent a lot of time on the campus of a very liberal university and felt he couldn't express his opinions. He is now at a Catholic university. He feels now he can express himself without being shunned and enjoys hearing all sides of a debate vs. being in an echo chamber.


Lol. So he’s having all sorts of abortion open- debate at his Catholic school? Um. Ok.

Did Brer Rabbit or huckleberry Finn or Gone with the Wind get banned or canceled or not. Can’t keep track.

Np they do and there are tapes of the discussion for High schools and colleges. Both sides points presented well. Makes and females contributing to both sides points. It’s a complex issue, especially as term goes up or there are rape situations, no denying that. Women also don’t truly know how they feel about adoption until after the birth.

Landon is absolutely woke. The teachers only want to hear liberal arguments when discussing current topics. Conservatives are not welcome.

As a group, teachers are usually more Liberal than are the parents of the children they teach.

Even here in Blue DMV.

Bumped a 4 year old thread on the day. The saying "lives rent free in your head" gets toss around a lot, but wow

Landon is not woke, but who cares if they were.

It is woke. If you are conservative you might want to know before you put down 59K for tuition.

My experience- especially in the DMV - is that they are usually very much the same thing.

Landon has lots of right-leaning families much more than many other DC privates. It's all-boys and very sporty, which tends to attract more conservative-minded people.
