[quote=Anonymous]The thug or lax bro culture onto Landon is unfair since a majority of kids at that school are good kids and most are not lacrosse players. But Landon always seems to fail to help itself out PR wise when they are confronted. For example, we know a local family whose kid was expelled in the Landon SAT scandal. Years later the family has not gotten over how badly Landon handled it. Their son made a mistake and paid for it. Landon redacted all of their son's sporting or other accomplishments from the website, including all references to him being rostered and listed as a letter winner. They scrubbed out all references to his musical participations and accomplishments. Their son was banned from attending any event on campus including private club sports teams that rented fields to play at Landon. Ok, mistake and expulsion and a price paid. But Landon piled on. Among the other equal offenders at Landon in the SAT scandal were lacrosse players and one was also a son of a lacrosse coach. Those students had a very different and not a permanent punishment. It seems Landon is a lax bro island from the Board of Trustees all down to through the school administrators. What school would redact all reference to a kid expelled in 12th grade who'd gone through their lower and middle schools, but keep all past family history of the Huguely's on their website? Even UVa showed some taste and discretion to redact George Huguely's references on championship teams and took pictures down after the incident. Is it too important to Landon to keep George IV's lacrosse accomplishments list out and undisturbed all things considered? Oh wait, I forgot, nobody tells Landon what to do and of you don't like it don't come through the gated entrance. [/quote]
