[quote=Anonymous]We saw them flying together on US-29 when we drove to UVA in October. And speaking of Charlottesville, remember Trump said there were "good people on both sides." He also fought the Pentagon to keep Confederate names and battle flags.

But, let's get back to the question about how visitors discern a "woke" campus. I'm genuinely curious. We've toured about 20 schools and I would be hard pressed to name any that were "woke." We did see a "stop Asian hate" sign at an SLAC in New England and the girl who served us grilled cheese and soup near Wellesley had a small nose ring and the guy at JP Licks in Harvard Square had dread locks. There was a group of kids smoking weed at the College of Charleston and a bunch of kids playing Spikeball and drinking out of red solo cups at UVA.  But, the students at BC looked like the kids at W&M, Princeton, Wake Forest, UNC Charlotte, Vassar & Pitt. NYU, Duke, GW and Columbia had more international students, but we weren't picking up any "virtue signals." [/quote]
