[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Last year when I toured with my kid it was the only school that started the tour with an acknowledgement of stolen land AND made us wear masks on the tour even while outside. To me it felt a bit much.“

We’re registered Dems and it’s too much for us, too. I guess it’s very generational, but I also find that the more white the organization, the more likely there are these performative declarations. Will be visiting both next week.[/quote]

2 other schools that have the land acknowledgement in recent visits:

Michigan
Colorado State

All govt sponsored meetings in Australia (both parties) start with a land acknowledgement.  It is totally a thing.[/quote]

UVA stolen land plus slaves lived under this building. So performative. Obnoxious. Give it back then. [/quote]

Well....they can give free tuition. That is what Georgetown is doing for the descendents of slaves that it profited from. [/quote]

Kudos to President DeGioia for this initiative. There's a lot of shade thrown at Georgetown on this board and other college boards, but I have a lot of respect for this effort.[/quote]
