[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think this issue is overblown. My DH, myself and my DS have all attended/currently attend 3 different SLACs and I’ve only heard of this issue on DCUM.

Our son knew he wanted a SlAC and we visited  many to narrow down his list.  They do have different cultures and strengths and weaknesses   IMHO the NARP thing is not what I would use to figure out the initial list.  [/quote]

It is a significant issue at many LACs. Amherst College & Middlebury College are examples of  LACs with highly publicized NARP issues. And there are many more LACs with NARP issues.[/quote]

It’s a legit issue because so many of the non-athlete males are gay (they are drawn to the safe supportive LAC environment) while the athlete males at say a Nescac school are really exceptional athletes. To play soccer at Amherst for example means you’re an amazing soccer player and could probably play D1 somewhere. Exceptional athletes tend to have a more conventional masculine outlook. I guess we call that “toxic” now. [/quote]

I cannot roll my eyes enough at this outright nonsense. Please talk to literally a single teen who exists now, not the pretend teens from 1980s John Hughes movies who live in your mind. [/quote]

Right??? I have a straight male 17 yo who has a large, tight group of other (mostly) straight male friends and none of these kids sound anything like what’s being described here. For one thing, they are 100 percent comfortable being around gay and trans kids. [/quote]
