Did anyone else read the cover story on Sunday? I'm not sure how to feel about the story of the Georgetown professor who won the genius grant. The story would have seemed to focus on the genius grant. Instead it seemed like a hatchet job on Fenwick as being a racist schoo...but it was done from the perspective of a an admitted loner who didn't fit with either the AA or whites at the school and who followed up the traumatizing experience by going to even whiter Georgetown. The professor's feelings are his own and they are true for him but should they be taken as having objective truth? It seemed like sensationalist to have write about this achievement but have more than 50% of the article focused on racism at the school.

well, yeah, the fuck Fenwick is implied in the original post

They are like Loyola if you exchange the son's of corporate CEOs and attorneys with the son's of mobsters and traders from CBOT.

Do you consider it a fair and accurate characterization of Fenwick at that time period?

Not at all.

My brother was in the class of 95 and in the last all male class there. I will ask him.

It was tough for African Americans. There was 8 in the entire school at the time. I heard the n word more than once, but it was not by any means a regular occurence and it wasn't met with indifference either. I never heard a racial comment from a teacher.

I didn't read it, but fuck Fenwick!

You a Loyola guy Joe?

What the hell is a Sunday Sun Times?

Sounds like ice cream with fresh grapefruit and melon slices on top.

Go! Go, Gordon, go!

Eaglo, give IMU his account back.

I never feel more alone than when you guys huddle up and talk about your Chicago Catholic schools.

I'm an Evanston guy. I was forced into an all boys Catholic school against my will.

on Fenwick as being a racist schoo...
