[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually agree with the author (whom I know nothing about). Objectively schools, especially those strongly left leaning such as GDS and Sidwell ( and people have said on this board that Holton has swung aggressively in the same direction) are in fact a complete contradiction. They have aggressively embraced what I will describe as hyper-liberalism, and yet charge circa $50,000 per child, per year to attend school. This does not feel like the "equality" they espouse. Can anyone not see the inherent contradiction? [/quote]

I agree with this. Most people are missing the point of the article. That private schools exist to perpetuate the elite class but also want credit for being progressive and in support of social justice. All she is saying is that these schools are hypocritical. The democrat parents at these schools should be honest about the part we all play in supporting a highly unequal system. We want the best for our kids at the expense of others. I had to laugh when she called Sidwell the Saks 5th Avenue of Quakerism. Spot on and my own kids go to Sidwell.[/quote]
