[quote=Anonymous][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]

You didn't see wokeness on campus. Then you need to get out of your bubble to get to know the real world. Are you aware that Virginians voted democrats out of office because they were turned off by the wokes in schools and on school boards? Are you aware that many college professors are forced out of their positions because they speak politically incorrect opinions? Colleges are supposed to be the place where students and faculty engage in provocative ideas. No, that is not allowed anymore. Anyone who dares risks to be fired. But you could not see any wokeness on campus. :shock: Adorable.
