    Summary:

    The loudest story about American colleges is disconnected from what college students care about. Even so, the nation’s diverse, aspirational college students are trying to make college choices that align with their political values. According to this survey, they are remarkably progressive, fair-minded and unafraid of intellectual challenge. If only our politics lived up to their values.

    That gives me hope.

    The problem isn’t the students, it’s their parents. I have a MAGA-in-law who didn’t even want his kids to go to college because he was afeered they would come back “woke”.

      Why would anyone be afraid of “being aware of racism”? You may as well be afraid of butterflies or ice cream.
