[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After the fallout from the Nikole Hannah-Jones fiasco, [b]I wouldn't send my kid there until the get their house in order.[/b]

That said, it is really difficult to get in OOS and they usually have a really good basketball team.[/quote]

WTH does this mean? Their house has been in order since 1789.[/quote]

Ne poster here -- Yeah, in the sense that it's a good school. But for anyone who follows the Nicole Hannah-Jones fiasco, choosing UNC Chapel Hill at this point in time telegraphs certain values, or disregard for certain values, that feels icky to me. I would discourage my child from choosing the school for a while, but that's just me. I'm a college professor deeply invested in diverse hiring practices, so I also understand if my thoughts about this are more involved or perhaps if others didn't catch the scandal.  [/quote]

PP here. It's not that I didn't "catch the scandal," it's that I completely disagree with you. How narcissistic and pious of you to state that your child's choice of school would "telegraph certain values" and that that "feels icky" to you.  I hope you're not an English professor at an accredited college. [/quote]

Why the anger “PP”?  I agree with the prior poster.  I think UNC Chapel Hill came off terribly from Nichole Hannah-Jones fiasco.  And PP’s response demonstrates exacly the kind of obtuseness that many now associate with UNC Chapel Hill - [b]and the exact reason why many applicants will be turned off from the school for the near future.

What are you smoking? [/quote]
