[quote=Anonymous]The traditionally liberal elite private schools have all become exceedingly woke, everywhere in the US. I'm a graduate of such a school and have watched the school evolve from liberal but open minded to progressive and somewhat open minded to woke and ideological. You must understand that once an institution becomes ideological, there's no changing it. Because it's run and populated by people who believe in the ideology. There is no compromise because how can you compromise on what you think is righteous and just? It's the same mindset behind the editor of the WaPo rambling about moving beyond objectivity to a better.. whatever.

You can complain about the seminar but this thinking will be taught and encouraged by the faculty everywhere in the other classes. Even in once objective subjects like math and science. Ideology, like all ideology, becomes a disease. Eventually, hopefully, it will burn itself out but it won't happen in the next few years. It usually takes decades. New board, new head, new faculty, different parents.

It's for this reason that people like me and many of my old classmates are no longer impressed by fancy name elite schools or colleges that we'd attended and hoped our children would attend. There are other schools, however. You have to decide whether to put up with this thinking and be in an environment where you will be constantly opposed to what the school, the faculty and many if not most students deeply believe in, or simply pull your child out and go elsewhere. There are other options in the DC area that are more balanced and more like what schools were in the past and don't treat objectivity or different viewpoints as a bad word.[/quote]
