[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any all-boys school in this area that isn't a lightning rod for criticism by seemingly everyone on this message board? There are 18 receent pages as of now dedicated to STA's anti-equality issues.  On any other given day it could easily be trashing Landon , Prep, or Gonzaga.  If someone wants to send their daughter to an all-girls school, it seems to be praised as giving these girls a place to "shine, take center stage, and fill every role", but the boys' schools are more often criticized than applauded.  Why is this? And what is a parent to do around here if they seek an all-boy education for their son? Is it like this with all boys' schools in other cities? [/quote]

NP. I think the problems have increased in recent years because Conservative parents that want to send their kid to an elite school are choosing the all boys schools over schools such as Sidwell, GDS, or Maret because they deem those schools to be too liberal and quite frankly I think they think they are too diverse – too many black and Jewish families for them. So the more conservative all boys schools become their first choice and they get admitted. Many are nice normal families but many bring with them their conservative views which can be racist, anti Jewish/Muslim, and against LGBTQ. The most egregious incidents of racism and acts against Jewish students were done by very conservative students. It is documented and true. [/quote]

Can you cite where this is all "documented and true"?  Only documented incident I recall was the swastika at Sidwell's student meeting.  But I'm sure your vast knowledge of all the local schools can produce a ton of documentation.  [/quote]

Wow. The least knowledgeable always sound the most confident. You need to do some research. Start with the boys who thought photoshopping the faces of diverse classmates on Holocaust victims was funny... two years ago. That is just the beginning of the many documented things you don’t know about, despite knowing everything. [/quote]
