What are experiences of people on these boards?

This is an oxymoron

Why? This is the case in many liberal universities. My DC who had stats strong enough to be considered for many ivies decided not to apply because he didn't want to be "politically correct" in everything he wrote, said.

Can you give me an example of “political correctness” that is unacceptable to you? It’s been my experience that when people complain about “political correctness” it’s usually just about not wanting to extend someone respect or courtesy, even when you happily extend the same respect or courtesy to others.

Not being able to argue or protest against abortion is oppression. Your friends being turned off by you doing so is not oppression. Being asked to use specific pronouns is not oppression. Not being allowed to make a good faith argument that non-binary genders are a social construct is oppression. Your friends being turned off by you doing so is not oppression.

The op-ed OP linked only gives one example, which is a kid who left the water polo team rather than cover up his upper thigh MAGA tattoo. It’s an interesting question and I think I come down on the side of the kid, that he should have been allowed to play with his tattoo. But if you want me to believe that would be the “conservative” position if a Texas football player had a “trans rights” tattoo…

Certainly taking the tattoo story and wrapping it in a bunch of whining and hysterics, as this kid did, suggests he’s not interested in arguing about principles and values at all. He just wants to make memes for the MAGAverse. But that’s not a good way to make friends and influence people IRL.

PP here. My DC is pro-life. He spent a lot of time on the campus of a very liberal university and felt he couldn't express his opinions. He is now at a Catholic university. He feels now he can express himself without being shunned and enjoys hearing all sides of a debate vs. being in an echo chamber.

Wait so the “ivies” were too “politically correct” for your son to apply to even though he totally could have gotten in, and then he went to a “very liberal university” anyway?

It is conservative-speak. No one who is actually progressive or liberal would refer to themselves as "woke" - it is meant to be ironic and somewhat of a dogwhistle
