[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dennison is probably the best Midwestern SLAC that isn't overly woke, if that matters to you. It would to me.[/quote]

I personally prefer my kids go to woke schools because I want them to learn about our country’s complex and at times ugly history. I want them to be in an environment that fosters true inclusion and where the students are genuinely interested in making society more just and fair.  Woke is a good thing; it means you are awake and have your eyes open. I get it, it’s easier to live in denial and pretend your white Indiana ancestors were in the KKK or that slavery was a benevolent form of employment, or that traditional women’s roles were just great, never mind my mother legally could not apply for a credit card on her own when I was a kid. I get that some kids aren’t able to handle being uncomfortable, ever. Mine can handle it. [/quote]

If you think woke schools are inclusive, try standing up in class and saying Ron DeSantis did the best job of any governor during Covid. You'll see pretty quickly how tolerant your classmates and professor are.[/quote]

Why would someone stand up in class and say that? Such a weird hypothetical.[/quote]

They could be having a class discussion on public health policy. It's no weirder of a hypothetical than someone in class arguing, for instance, that brutalism is an underrated style of architecture. It just depends on the context and what preceded the comment.[/quote]

Not the PP and fair point, but that doesn't mean folks get to make statements and expect they will not be contested, especially about RDS.[/quote]
