[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HIstorically, GDS was one of the first schools to accept students of color and Jewish students.  That means a lot to a lot of people for pretty obvious reasons of school culture.[/quote]
Historically, George Washington was Prep’s first commencement speaker—his nephews graduated from Prep’s first class of students.[/quote]

Which proves the point of how different these schools are. The people who founded gds would not have been allowed to attend prep until fairly recently.[/quote]

Seriously Prep booster? Do you even realize how you sound?

I have no dog in this fight. I have more connections to Prep than to GDS and I’ve been a parishioner at Holy Trinity since the 1980s.  But the insinuation that Prep is somehow superior to GDS because it’s older is naive and intellectually dishonest. Given the rather unsavory history of Jesuit missionaries among people of color, we’ll, is it any wonder that families of color or Jewish families might prefer GDS?[/quote]
