One is a board member at Beauvoir. It’s gross. |

I don't understand how this is an optics issue for STA/NCS/Beauvoir. Are these women wearing school t-shirts while they lobby? If not, why would anyone associate them with the schools their children attend any more than they would associate them with their jobs, places of worship, etc.? |

Ask the assaulted girls on the Close with confidential agreements and can’t talk. |

| Or write, evidently. |

This makes STA more appealing to me, thank you for the information! There were just as many Beauvoir/STA mom's publically lobbying against Kavanaugh. Fair is fair, can't have one group be vocal and not the other. It's called freedom of expression. That's right, only the left is entitled to that. In any case, the Post article was a flop. |

oh you poor ridiculous snowflake. No one is saying that those women don't have the right to advocate, they are just saying they're pieces of s**t for advocating for that particular position. Freedom of expression, right? No one has to like what you're saying. |

Very insensitive especially considering Beauvoir’s history with this subject and that there are many families on the Close still that were at Beauvoir at the time. |

I'm an NCS parent who is stridently anti-Kavanaugh. Stop stirring the pot with made up b.s. - it doesn't advance the cause. |

DP, but also an NCS parent. All the sexual assaults and harassment reported by the girls in the 2015 google doc weren’t believed. Some girl’s brother found it and started calling all the girls liars. And the NCS Administration was furious - with the girls. If your own administration won’t beleive you, there is no way you are getting far enough into the reporting process to get to any confidentiality agreements. At least I am guessing that’s what you mean by b.s., since some of the girls have in fact been assaulted. |

| Yes, my b.s. comment is in reference to the suggestion that any girls at NCS are prohibited from speaking due to confidentiality agreements. As to the rest, all I will say is that as a parent with no connection or loyalty to her, I'm very comfortable that the HoS (and administration generally) is very supportive of girls at the school in these circumstances. |

Now I know you are joking. They shut down the Google doc. They lectured the girls for reporting incidents of assault and abuse. And when the HoS wrote a letter two weeks ago about how the girls should be supported, an open letter by NCS girls was posted on a student-run social media account calling her out for that hypocrisy. It cited the document and an incident in which multiple girls reported assaults by one STA boy who was allowed to graduate anyway (and was later suspended by his college for - you guessed it - sexual assault). They chided her for not believing the brave girls who have come forward before. I don’t believe you actually have a daughter at NCS, especially not in the US. Or else your daughter doesn’t talk to you. |

Glad to see you recognize that the statement "That's right, only the left is entitled to that." is slanderous. Well done. |

None of these people were there as representatives of the schools were they? I assume they all have professional careers and should worry about the implications of that, if any. Simply having children at a school shouldn't impact your ability to express personal opinion. No children were present, no school banners waived, it might not have been reflective of everyone's opinion but they are entitled to it for better or worse. |
