What has happened to Wesleyan?

If an environment is making you unhappy, for whatever reason, there is the option of leaving.

I am sorry to all who are disappointed in their college experiences.

I had to leave home after 11th grade and missed the fancy school because our pedestrian state u was the only place that would accept me that August without the HS diploma. Still, I garnered an Ivy grad school acceptance and earned a PhD.

The environment wasn’t perfect, but there was much to recommend it.

I don’t know which views have been shouted at, but there are some that deserve to be. For example, I don’t think supporters of the Dred Scott decision should have been respected in 1856. Ideas that deprive others of their freedom or rights are reprehensible.

As for the debt and other economic arguments, I think the fact that Clinton left a surplus and the debt grew after that presents another possible point of view that the right’s analysis, but I don’t think it belongs on a Wesleyan board.

Wesleyan is a very invigorating environment. Right for some but not all.

I wonder how much civility certain beliefs receive at Brigham Young?

It’s really quite a shame that our society is so polarized.

One statistic that gets to me is that blue states give money to red states while red states vote against taxes. It makes little sense to me, but the human race doesn’t seem to be essential rational.

There’s a lot of anger here, and that probably doesn’t help create serenity or a sense of satisfaction.
