No, some people recognize that some SJW tactics are antisocial. You can agree with the message and work for social justice, and also not want to be anywhere near some of the messengers whose behavior you find counterproductive to the cause.

This. It is a misconception that you have to be an "SJW" (shouting down anyone who disagrees with you, demanding your college cancel classes until it meets your demands, protesting a bakery they tried to protect themselves from your classmates' shoplifting, etc.) to care about social justice. I care deeply about social justice and working towards a more just society -- I just cringe at the tactics of say, the average Oberlin student, as a way to get there.

Trinity (assuming you mean the CT school), may not be super liberal, but it’s sure AF super preppy.


+1

And quite conservative. Tucker Carlson is a Trinity alum, as is George Will.

Christopher Newport also feels a lot like a LAC

Lafayette
Lehigh (small Uni)
Hamilton
Wake Forest (small Uni)




Colgate is as preppy as it gets

I think you’re onto something with Lafayette and Lehigh. Lehigh isn’t technically a LAC, but it feels like one.

Hamilton is very liberal and very into social justice

I don’t want to give the exact school, but it’s one of Oberlin/Pitzer/Skidmore/Occidental (since they’re all relatively equal).


It makes a difference though. It would be easy to find a school less liberal than Oberlin but there are fewer choices with some of the others.


Is skidmore a very liberal/SJW school?


Yes, and also very artsy/blue hair/hippie

Possibly Lake Forest.
Certainly Claremont McKenna.
University of Dayton isn’t technically a LAC abut has that feel.


Actually, the student body is very very mixed. About 30% liberal, 30% conservative, 30% middle of the road.


This actually seems pretty conservative for a LAC if only 30% are liberal, especially compared to our MCPS high school.
