[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted my kid to apply. On our visit last year, admissions officer spent first 20 min of her talk focused on why white supremacy had changed the education system and that Oxy was fighting it. Entire room was white families. One asian family.

I get it / we are at the most progressive of the Big 3. I love a lot about Oxy. My kid was so turned off by that AO that they refused to seriously consider Oxy at the end.

Sort of bummed me out. B/c it would have been a good target for kid who needed more targets.

And I’m not exaggerating about the 20 min lecture on white supremacy to start the AO q&a. [/quote]

We were just at Oxy this week for a tour. Nothing like this happened for us. [/quote]

PP here. Yeah I begged my kid to overlook it. It was an AO new to the school and her first few months on the job. Just got unlucky with that (though she’s entitled to her opinion). Like when you get unlucky with bad weather or bad tour guide  or something on a tour and kid ends up opposed to the school.

The student guides also gave their pronouns. Again I’m not trying to incite on this thread but that’s what happened to us. Last august. [/quote]

Every school these days on the coasts has the tour guides giving pronouns. That is not unusual at all.[/quote]

This isn't limited to the coasts. It's not the 1970s and no cable.[/quote]
