[Anonymous]

I forgot what a jerk Brett is and this based on an article defending him. Makes Prep sound like a uncontrolled mess

From listening to everyone, some kids would die for admission into Prep and it is a very well regarded school. Has anyone else's DS declined their offer to Georgetown Prep? What school did they end up accepting and why? Do they regret making that decision?

Very odd question. You should not base an acceptance on wondering if anyone declined as a decision on accepting. Do what is best for your son. Prep is
for Catholics as STA for Episcopalians. If you are not a catholic then maybe another school fits better.

Pschaw. There are plenty of Episcopalians at Georgetown Prep!

Episcopalians (The English) are the ones that perpetrated genocide on Catholics (The Irish) by shipping all the food from Ireland back to England causing the great famine.

And it was the Episcopalians that discriminated against the Irish and other Catholics here in the US for generations.

And now their descendants want to go to Catholic school?

If he is thinking of Landon, he should definitely turn down Prep. It will not be a great fit.

Exactly.

If the boy and the parents can't tell the difference between Prep and Landon, the kid should go to Landon. (Which many Prep people consider to be the anti-Prep.)

In fact, anyone who considers Landon should not apply to Prep because obviously they don't understand what make Prep different.

Please elaborate. Why are the so different other than religion?

Out of curiosity, what did you glean from this article that leads you to claim he is a "jerk" and that Prep is an "uncontrolled mess?" I just read that article, and the only possibly jerkish thing was the "Renate alumnus" reference, and even that seems to be on shaky footing.

Is Prep an "uncontrolled mess" because Kavanaugh (legally) drank beer in high school? I just don't get it. I'm not a Catholic, and pretty much hate current Georgetown Prep students and parents, but I still don't get how you can draw conclusions about a person's character based on the article you just cited.

A starting point for this would be differences in who sends their boys there and what their expectations and values are.

It’s a PRO Brett piece and even in that context the behaviors and sanctioned yearbook language like the one you highlight is hugely disturbing. It’s not the beer it’s the rapiness and toxicity. In a Catholic school, moreover, where you bragged about the discipline and behaviors and family values

Everyone nationwide knows he lied.

What is one to conclude about those values when you are excusing what came out in the hearings (even just the stuff he had to admit)?

The values I saw were the ones of the desperate Democrats smearing someone's reputation. Pure disgusting politics on display. It showed there was no limit to how low they would go.

What I would want to be assured of is that the culture was transformed since that time (for the better), with no misogyny for example.

What disturbed me is hearing that the parents revere and defend all of it, and essentially closed ranks in support. I didn’t know that.

Talk about jumping to conclusions based on assumptions...

I'm sorry adult drinking is "hugely disturbing" to you. I just don't see any "rapiness (sic) or toxicity" in that article. It's a pretty benign article. I think a better answer to my question would have been: "I didn't glean anything new from that article. I'm just reinforcing the beliefs I've held since the hearings." Clearly, that's the case.

I disagree about his "lying." I'm sure Blasey-Ford lied and that crazy Swetnick obviously lied about spiking drinks. Then, Jane Doe made up a claim and sent it to useful idiot Kamala Harris. Not only was the allegation discredited, but Jane Doe was referred to DOJ for making false allegations. It's pretty sad the Democrats used these women as pawns in an unsuccessful attempt to interfere with the lawful duties of the United States Senate. But this is what we've come to expect from those folks.

Of course, your mileage may vary but in the end you know I'm right.

Prep right wing, Landon left wing.

DP. Having watched the hearings, I saw Kavanaugh behave in ways totally unbefitting a Supreme Court justice. His self-centeredness, his assumed victimhood, his whole demeanor was disgusting. I get that you’ve convinced yourself that a person truthfully recounting what happened to her, at great personal cost and absolutely zero upside must be lying, but you should know that the majority of people who watched the hearings came away with the impression that BK is scum. And if you can’t see the toxicity in the politico piece, we’ll that tracks — you don’t thing sexual harassment and assault is a real thing, you think the old white guys should be in charge, and you think everybody else should just know their place. Your tone pretty much makes all that clear.

Lol.

Imagine a person undergoing Senate confirmation acting self-centered. I mean, it's beyond the pale.

Imagine a person being falsely accused - on national TV - assuming victimhood. Again, that is so far out of the norm it's scary.

Let's just agree to disagree. With any luck, you'll be able to successfully Bork the next GOP nominee.
