[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things change. None of those people are involved. I wouldn’t think twice but I also would have looked into the school my kids attend far more than you appear to have done. How did you NOT know? I typically research things before entrusting my kids to them and spending tens of thousands.[/quote] Yeah, it’s hard to miss. Here’s the Wikipedia page for Hampton Roads Academy in Newport News: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_Roads_Academy “The school was founded in 1959, in the context of massive resistance, as a segregation academy.”[3] “Hampton Roads Academy was founded in 1959 as a segregation academy with a student body of sixty all white students in grades seven through eleven.[3] The school's founder, Hampton physician Russell von Lehn Buxton, who became the first chairman of the Board of Trustees, explained that the school was established to avoid the "limitations and constraints imposed on the public school system."[4] [/quote]
