Strawman U: Difference between revisions

The schools used for this fall into the following categories:

 

"Berserkeley" is filled with [[Granola Girl|Granola Girls]], rude skaterpunks, [[Dirty Communists|angry socialists/anarchists/whateverists screaming about how Amerikkka is pure evil and that we deserve to die in a ditch]], [[Malcolm Xerox|pissed-off black nationalists]], irritating [[Hipster|hipsters]] wearing idiotic fashions, [[Hollywood Atheist|Hollywood Atheists]], and [[New Age Retro Hippie|aging hippies]].

 

** Earlham College (Quaker Church) in Richmond, Indiana, is so left-wing that everybody is addressed by their first name -- calling an instructor "Mister", "Ms.", "Professor" or "Doctor" So-And-So is definitely frowned upon. Students are often at odds with the local and regional Yearly Meetings (the Quaker equivalent of a synod) over sexuality and drinking. (In case you're wondering, the Yearly Meetings are against both.)

 

 

Anyone who has half a brain turns out to be either a [[Stepford Smiler]], [[Holier Than Thou]], or [[Ax Crazy]]. The city council, if it exists, will be packed with [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporate Executives]] and [[Corrupt Church|oppressive, right-wing pastors]]. Being a historic university, its founding charter frequently comes with a long and detailed list of complex bylaws and regulations which just seem tailor-made for the Dean to abuse our plucky heroes.

 

May overlap with a [[Wizarding School]], [[Boarding School of Horrors]] or an occult-filled [[Cthulhu Mythos|Miskatonic University]]. Will undoubtedly overlap with [[Politically-Motivated Teacher]].

* ''PCU'', in the film of that name, somehow manages to be both. The campus is, shall we say, ''polarized''. This trope was basically the entire point of the movie.
