[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything in that post could be true, and at the same time it could be true that there was some rampant misogyny that went unchecked. It’s not necessarily one or the other. It’s that some boys can get away with it, despite the school’s claims of building character, that’s the problem.

The Catholic Church has done immense good around the world over the last hundred years. That doesn’t negate AT ALL the appalling way they handled sexual abuse by priests. Prep doesn’t get to focus on the positive things while ignoring the horrible behavior of some of their “finest” men.[/quote]

Especially since Prep protected a pedophile priest/teacher not too long ago.[/quote]

Just like the pedophile teachers/coaches that were at Potomac, GDS , Sidwell and Beauvoir.   This is not just a Prep issue but carry on.

It's different because Prep covered up the abuse and tried to expel the student.

The abuser stayed at Prep to prey on more students with the protection of the administration for 7... SEVEN more years even though they knew he was a abuser.

Finally an older student who graduated went to the police not Prep to gets conviction.[/quote]

Not different at all.  No excuses for what happened at Prep.

MCLEAN, Va. (WTOP) -- A former teacher at The Potomac School in McLean may have preyed on dozens of students over two decades, and when high-ranking school officials became aware of the allegations, the ex-teacher was directed to attend counseling.
The school says it is "deeply disturbed" by the findings of an independent investigation into ex-teacher Christopher Kloman, who was sentenced last year to 43 years in prison for the abuse of five former students.
But the entire scope of his predatory conduct may dwarf the sexual abuse laid out in the criminal case.
After the sentencing, the school's Board of Trustees authorized an investigation into Kloman's tenure, which stretched from 1965 to 1994.[/quote]

That was in the 60's/70's... preps cover up was <10 years ago.[/quote]

Until 1994 but keep trying.
