Has a loud, boorish faction of the student population demanded classes cease until their demands are met? If not, then they probably aren’t attending the kinds of schools we’re talking about here.

You think it’s “the academics” who have forgotten that? I suppose even if that is true, at least they knew what it means at one time.

Funniest post in the thread.

“Ivies are political”. God that is stupid word salad. Please ignore this idiocy. I guarantee more polarized thinking at ND and Baylor than at Dartmouth or Cornell.

You deplorable traitorous capitol storming mouth breathers will never learn.

😂 we hit a nerve, clearly.

Yes, you ignorant traitorous POS have been hitting nerves with your racist sexist white supremacism for year and it came to a head recently.

Also, this is yet another thread where you don't understand the meaning of the term "liberal arts". It means the opposite of what you think.

Get your knuckles off the ground and learn something.

You know, just because a kid wants to go to college and focus on their studies instead of politics does not mean they are automatic racists. You are seriously making pp’s point for them.

Lol. The irony. It’s soooooo funny. “Ivies are political”. So stupid. OK, no prob, don’t go. I am happy to make PPs point for them. Proud, even.

What about PPs point that you don’t understand what liberal arts means?

DP. I think it is pretty clear that you would never qualify to go to any Ivy League school so it is interesting and odd that you're so defensive of them. What gives? Are you just a bad troll or are you off your meds?

This. That poster is so transparently angry - it’s clear he or she supports groups that demand teaching stop until their laundry list of grievances are addressed. He or she is beautifully illustrating OP’s point.

PP here and I said no such thing. My points were all objections to points others made. Let's not make stuff up.

Here is what I said:

1. "“Ivies are political”. God that is stupid word salad. Please ignore this idiocy. I guarantee more polarized thinking at ND and Baylor than at Dartmouth or Cornell."

2. "You deplorable traitorous capitol storming mouth breathers will never learn."

3. "Also, this is yet another thread where you don't understand the meaning of the term "liberal arts". It means the opposite of what you think."

Address those and don't put words in my mouth.

Critical thinking and thinking outside the box is the exact opposite of wokeness. Perhaps this is why you were confused by my earlier comment

Wokeness is the epitome of ovine behavior. Perhaps it's practitioners engage in this behavior to maximize their perceived chances of getting laid.

+1. And the irony is, there is nothing more unattractive to most women than a so-called "woke" man.

Poor things. They lament not being able to find a sufficiently patriarchal, white supremacist school for their delecate snowflakes, and they imagine that the tastes of scared, pearl clutching middle aged Trumpkin ladies apply to young men and women. Nobody tell them about what dating life is ACTUALLY like for young people these days -- they'd be terrified.

Why don't you decamp over to the political forum where you can wallow in the cesspool with your people.
The adults on this board would like to have a grown-up conversation.

Hurl insults away. Does not bother me. I did not attend an ivy but my kids do, so I am experienced to that degree.

Now, answer the question: What about PPs point that you don’t understand what liberal arts means?

DP. Go away, troll. Your posts are nonsensical word salads. You have kids at Ivies like I have a grandmother on Mars.
