The mostly-non-white liberal arts college in Maine

We received a copy of Bowdoin magazine, the official publication of the liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine featured in these aerial photos. I emailed the intended recipient, an alumna of this $72,000/year school:

From reading your alumni magazine and looking at the photos, I learned that Bowdoin has 0% white male students, graduates, and faculty.

The front and back covers:

There is a white person among the illustrator’s conception of students at elite schools, but the gender ID is unclear (big earring in one ear; female fashion model-style legs?):

No better place to learn about Africa than the central Maine coast:

Choosing to live in an all-white state means that you can “fight for [racial inequity] causes” by putting a sign on your lawn (text at top left):

From a student who has some ancestry from India:

(Her parents might be hoping that she isn’t able to deliver on her “progressive” goals, at least with respect to taxation. Indian-Americans have a median household income that is 2X what white Americans earn.)

A professor writes about Willie Horton:

Anthony Walton, Bowdoin professor:

Hide in home bunker from COVID-19. Watch direct deposit paychecks pile up.

His self-designated doppelganger, from Wikipedia:

William R. Horton (born August 12, 1951) is an American convicted felon who, while serving a life sentence for murder (without the possibility of parole), was the beneficiary of a Massachusetts weekend furlough program. He did not return from his furlough, and ultimately committed assault, armed robbery, and rape before being captured and sentenced in Maryland where he remains incarcerated.

What else is in here? Alumni created a “beer celebrating racial justice” (but where does racial justice exist?). “Maine outlawed racial slurs as place names in 1977,” but five Maine islands were only renamed in 2020 (43 years after the law was passed). “In 2019, Maine passed a law banning Native American mascots” (e.g., a school with a sports team named after a tribe).

    If you mean the person wearing the letter A then I would say that is a man based on the baldness. In fact it can be a thinner version of Mr. Clean.

  2. At $72,000/year Bowdoin is #12 on USA News Best Value Schools list. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/bowdoin-college-2038 With endowment over $1.7 billion it must be giving large scholarships. Otherwise low pre-tax starting salary of $57,000 for Alumni (for those who could find job upon graduating a liberal arts college) would hardly make it sense attending. Bowdoin endowment is significantly higher then some working schools producing Nobel prices and researches that work at outfits like MIT.

  3. Hard to believe there is much of a future for liberal arts colleges like Bowdoin that charge high fees and are hard to distinguish from lots of other schools and probably don’t offer much more in terms of education than your typical state college, which will be lots cheaper. Hard to understand why any alum would give money to schools like these that promote this sort of propaganda except perhaps to secure a place for the not very talented child of wealthy parents. As for Willie Horton, if memory serves he was released under the aegis of Michael Du-taxes (accent on the last syllable) the former governor of your Faire Commonwealth, Phil, who had the Horton thing thrown in his face by Bush Senior — which was deemed “racist” by the cognoscenti of the day.

  4. They import Baltic vikingspawn to keep the summer help blue-eyed and blond.

    Here’s a theory — Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire are for those who would celebrate Boston’s diversity by living as far away as possible.
