[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am genuinely shocked about people referring to a melting pot.

I am OLD and even I remember waaaay back in the 80s talking about how the US isn't a melting pot - that was an antiquated and stupid analogy.  Instead, we could think of the US as a salad bowl, where every piece retains it's own unique flavors and comes together as one better whole.

[b]I've also read through most of nine pages and have yet to understand exactly what the OP is worried about or what she considers "woke".  I get she doesn't like Kendi.  OK, fair enough.  Reasonable people can disagree about any specific person or idea.  But not sure where the lead comes from there to some larger "wokeness" she's concerned about.[/b][/quote]

I am confused about this also. I consider myself left of middle and don’t always agree with specific policies of the party, especially at the local level. But I just can’t get into bashing “wokeness” as some vague concept. It would be really helpful to know why OP feels like she doesn’t fit into her woke private school community. What has happened that makes you feel like you don’t fit in?[/quote]
