[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you hear yourself? What an insufferable human. Gross. [/quote] +1. It's the same old anti "woke" commercial every post seems to devolve into now on DCUM. And for the people claiming Vandy is attractive because of top sports, note baseball won a NCAA championship in 2019, but beyond that bowling is the only successful sports program.  [/quote]

Honestly, it is completely valid to want a college environment that isn't heavily influenced by politics, in either direction.  I have political views that I am very vocal about, but my kid who shares the same views would not want a campus environment that is consumed with politics.  [b]She can still express them, advocate for them, etc without it being a day-to-day issue on her walk to class.  It isn't anti-woke, it is a desire to engage in those "woke" issues/advocacy on her own terms.[/b][/quote]

Well-said. We’re a very progressive family, both in terms of our choice of work and our community commitments.

DC seems to share these values but does not want to live in that type of a campus community for four years. Different strokes for different folks. [/quote]
