After more research, I don't think this was accurate. I feel bad for resorting to stereotype.

"Liberal" is absolutely correct here, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_education

"White" is iffy. In my experience in the U.S., thinking about alternative education is a luxury that only some can afford to do. Therefore, it is an issue of affluence.

"Women" was out of line. This is not an issue of gender, and I think it was harmful to reinforce certain traditional roles here.

I lied about my GPA btw, it was around 3.8. And I went to a mid-tier state school in the Midwest. It was good in that I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
