[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for the record, the Clintons were considering both schools for Chelsea. The deciding factor was that Sidwell's campus was conducive to a more secure drop-off and pick-up (i.e. the daily transition). This was communicated to the Obamas as well. [/quote]

Oh my.

Just for the record, the Lincolns were considering GDS for their kids.[/quote]

Your joke is so funny, why aren't you in standup comedy?

Obviously, GDS doesn't date from the Civil War era, but from the post-World War II era, having been founded in 1945.  But given GDS's unique history as the first integrated leading private school in the nation's capital, its pursuit of social justice, and the fact that it has educated the children of the first African-American Supreme Court justice and Attorney General, among others, it might be a good bet that Lincoln would have chosen GDS for his sons had it been around in the day.[/quote]

OMG, let it go.[/quote]

Agree, Pls do let it go. 
Most of the country except the south did not have Jim Crow laws re: public schools.
Many southern families moved to Detroit, Ny, Philly, Chicago for that and many reasons. Sorry DC was sorry old DC. Most people here didn’t grow up in DC, this country, nor the south. However, we all have stories to tell- two world wars, immigration, mafia, baseball, illnesses, etc. [/quote]

Hoping you are not a product of the Sidwell history department because your words are the product of someone who is misinformed about the struggle for integrated schools across this country, from Charlotte to Chicago, from Boston to Bakersfield. Northern whites didn't need Jim Crow to keep blacks out of their schools. [/quote]

Funny how Michelle Obama says the exact opposite about Chicago 1850s-1975.[/quote]
