I really enjoyed reading slipping because of all the personal student stories. It was interesting to see how certain contraversial events affected students and to think about how they would affect me. When I read the short segment on the raising of the confederate flag along with the pride flag, I was confused. While some aspects of the culture differ, I would have thought that she would have a greater respect for the Byrn Mawr Community and those who would be affected by the hanging of a confederate flag in common spaces. I wish that I could have heard more about her thoughts and her justifications for hanging the flag. I thought the way the story was told was very engaging and I found it very interesting to read.
