[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of St. Albans mom work?  It seems like once women hit their mid-30's at all the area private schools. many choose to stay home.  That's always surprising to me considering how many extremely well educated and liberal moms are at these schools. [/quote]

Well your premise is in incorrect. St. Albans is not mostly liberal moms.[b] It is mostly republicans in my two sons grades.[/b] The administration and Cathedral may be more liberal leaning but the current parents and boys are not. NCS, Sidwell, Holton, and GDS are where you will find more liberal moms. [/quote]

Agree with this as well.  It is a very conservative student (family) body.  NCS is different--much more liberal.  STA is very, very republican, including Trump republican.  It has been an eye opener to us.  [/quote]

I’m wondering which grades pp’s are referring to. I get about 65-70/30 vibe (70 Democrats) and about half of 30 Trump Republicans. [b]Others more Reagan/Bush thank goodness.[/b] [/quote]

This no longer exists. We're all Trump Republicans now![/quote]

I'm going to assume you're joking, for many reasons. I still know many proud never-trumpers. They held their noses and voted for Clinton, or some didn't vote. I'm also assuming you're joking, in the sense that, yes, Trump has taken over the Republican Party because republicans in congress have let him out of fear of the super-conservative base. That doesn't mean that every fiscally conservative, socially liberal republican that tended toward Reagan and HW Bush is in line with Trump's ideas, message, or even his re-election campaign.

If you're not joking, I presume you mean that many republicans who disagree with trump and find him abhorrent pinch their nose the other way and support him because, well, over time some of it's been normalized. People have gotten tired. Jobs in the administration aren't complete career suicide if you keep arm's length. That's been the sad part. But I still wouldn't call those people Trumpers.

For what it's worth, I think there ought to be all voices (within the bounds of civil discussion), including those of Trump supporters. But I don't see some massive collection of die-hard, true believers at STA. More than that, I don't see the clearest connection between this point and the SAHM point, except that if one were to generalize and say that super conservative families might have more SAHM's, one is likely to find data to support that. So it's not totally unconnected, but it's not some perfectly reliable straight line between the two things. [/quote]
