[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You conveniently left out the fact that Al Gore’s son graduated from Sidwell, and his grandson currently attends Sidwell.

Yeah, Sidwell must be a miserable place. All of these wealthy and powerful people must have no choice but to keep sending their children to Sidwell. [/quote]

And you conveniently left out the fact that Gore's son was expelled from STA.  [/quote]

Lol—are you new here? I’m certain there are no official STA records that say he was expelled. Counseled out/told STA isn’t a good fit? Almost certainly.

As a pp mentioned, he was STILL admitted to and graduated from Harvard…because of his last name. I’m not condoning this, but let’s not be naïve about how money and privilege work.

Back to the original comparison made upthread. Among DMV privates, Sidwell is unmatched when it comes to where Presidents and VPs send their children and grandchildren. Even Donald Rumsfeld’s daughter graduated from Sidwell![/quote]

You can't be serious!?  No, I have lived in DC for 35 plus years.  Yes. Official records.  He had been suspended from St. Albans School for smoking marijuana at a school dance in 1996, and his father had called leading news outlets and convinced them not to publish the story, it has been reported.
