[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The troll doesn't sound like a Prep alum or parent to me. She may be a parent of a former Landon student who had a bad time at the school and has created this Nazi comparison in her mind to deal with it. One of the many absurd things about her diatribes is that Landon is often referred to as a [b]"Jew school"[/b] by members of other private school communities. She is clearly unhinged. We are best off ignoring the thread as soon as she infects it.[/quote]

This is a complete lie.  Yes, Landon is modeled after after the Hitler Youth Movement in Germany in the 1930s.  It's sad but it is true that Landon is modeled after such an unsavory organization that placed physical fitness above academics.  They also created imagined enemies in order to establish unity in their organization.  As long as the Landon Community refuses to admit their legacy dating back to the Banfields, they can never change.

So, am I a critic of Landon's underlying approach and philosophy  --  certainly yes.  Have I ever identified any particular ethnic group as being associated with Landon  --  absolutely not.[/quote]

My point was confusingly worded. I meant that the irony of associating Landon with Nazi Germany is that other people refer to Landon as being too Jewish.
Anyway, crazy lady, why don't you explain where all your personal experience with this school comes from. If you have no current association with the place, couldn't you find something better to do than read a high school magazine?[/quote]
