JHS, Blossom, I knew I’d get a rise out of the PC crowd.

Yes, kids can be happy at a campus where the dominant theme is not what the kid is. They can also be miserable because they feel socially isolated.

You seem to feel campus culture does not matter. Maybe it does not for you and your kids. But please respect the view that it does matter for others. For a lot of others. And this goes for many dimensions - partying, drinking, intellectual intensity, big time sports etc. One person’s draw is someone else’s turn off.

Why is this hard to accept?
