[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grinnell’s main event is the Mary-B-Jane Ball where the students all cross dress.  Not a niche thing. It’s an all campus event.  At alumni weekend, they bring in the drag queens.   Grinnell wears the culture wars on its sleeve.  Some may like that.  Others may get tired of it. [/quote]

Are you pretty conservative? Not trying to be mean - more a bit worried. DC is really interested in it but is a pretty “normy” kind of kid (although has some LGBTQ friends so isn’t “anti” that vibe at all), not a theatre or hyper political type of kid. [/quote]

I’m not conservative but I also don’t want to dissuade you from Grinnell.  It’s a great school.  Academics are top notch.  But everyone is extremely liberal.  No moderate views.  Moderates are not allowed, and forget about conservatives.  It’s a lot like Oberlin in that way.  Or Reed or Vassar.  That may be fine for some.  Many kids can and do just keep their heads down. Denison and Kenyon have more viewpoint diversity.  That’s important to me.  [/quote]

My Grinnellian is a moderate who leans left. I don’t think it’s like Reed, not even sure Oberlin is the right comparison. Maybe Macalaster?  [/quote]

I don’t doubt it.  But the school and professors and students all push far left conformity.   You have to agree or stay silent.  [/quote]
