Colleges[edit]

While I agree that Barat College has been closed since the summer of 2005, the business school is still open. I will make the change to delete Barat College, but keep the link to the business school. Patken4 00:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:24.34.117.21 is saying that the Lake Forest Graduate School of Management does not exist. Considering that I attend the school, I think I know it exists. Please provide links saying the school does not exist. If they still insist on deleting the link, or otherwise graffiting the page, please consider appropriate actions.

Founder[edit]

I'm 90% sure Russell B. Weinberg doesn't exist and didn't found Lake Forest. I live here and have never heard of him and can't find a single thing on him. I'm pretty sure it's just a reference to the Justice Bradley Russell Weinberger that's listed below (the founders name was Bradley R Weinberger for awhile). I'm not even sure Bradley Russell Weinberger, considering I know someone with at least the same first and last names at Lake Forest High School who seems like the type to put his name in here for vanity...

I am 100% sure that you are correct. I also know a Bradley Weinberger who would do such a thing.

You are correct Bradley "Weinburglar" Weinberger is a fake! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.36.154 (talk) 04:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I Removed the Red Links[edit]

I got rid of all o' them. --BLuToRsE 12:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake! Red links serve an important purpose on Wikipedia. Get rid of one by creating an article. This should have been reverted in 2006! rags (talk) 12:11, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WASP[edit]

I feel the term "WASP elite" in the third paragraph of the history section is racist, offensive, and a violation of Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Eric Cable ! Talk 16:23, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You might not like it, but it is true to an extent. The WASP elite is very powerful here (Speaking from a resident's point of view.) Just because you don't like it does not mean it's not true. I would like to note that in reality its not just the anglo Saxons that are elites here, but also Germans, and other groups of whites. Kaiser Kitkat (talk) 15:21, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?[edit]

The fact that the city was one of the last municipalities to have a segregation law is mentioned in the opening, then in the history section, is only mentioned in regards to it being "intended as a form of protection." This certainly makes the article seem to endorse said POV

It is just stating a fact. This is the way history was and its not a violation of NPOV to say whats happened, whether it's ethical or not. It´s important to understand the motives of people, whether they were motivations that had a point of view or not, because they never will because they were someone's point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiser Kitkat (talk • contribs) 15:46, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
