[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that so many NCS supporters use the term “conservative” as an insult explains much of the problem with NCS. A school that leans liberal is fine. A school and school community in which people with different political views are insulted, ostracized, and/or belittled is a place that is teaching arrogance and bullying. It’s not a place of true learning.

I don’t think NCS is that bad all the time, but it can get there, and there are segments of the NCS parent community who are pushing it to go farther down that road. [/quote]

Interesting points. Being conservative and being a Trump supporter or being so far right that your views are racist, bigoted, or homophobic and then if you expresses those views publicly yes I would imagine they would be ostracized, especially if their child repeats racist or bigoted comments made at home by the parents. There is no room at any decent top school for families like that. [/quote]

This is an exact example of the small-minded and arrogant prejudice against conservatives that permeates so many DC schools.  Principled liberals need to fight against this. It does our children no good to be raised in such an intolerant and hypocritical atmosphere.[/quote]

Are you kidding? The previous poster Is speaking out against families who have openly expressed bigoted and racist views. This is a real thing and it has happened by some conservative families at schools and has been documented - yes actually written down and guilt admitted so yes people have a right to speak out against them. The fact that you are blatantly defending people who have repeatedly expressed bigoted, anti-Semitic, homophobic behavior is beyond disgusting. No one said ALL conservative families. They are speaking out against those with actual incidents. [/quote]

No, the quote included "Being conservative and being a Trump supporter or".   Shockers - half the country voted for Trump.  Only close-minded people assume that all of those people are racist and undeserving of respect.

My own DS took a Politics class at NCS where some of the girls shouted him down as "unqualified to speak as a white man" and the teacher just sat there and let them yell.  Real education, untainted by advocacy, would teach the girls to articulate their positions with evidence, rather than shouting ad hominem.  NCS is pretty far left now.[/quote]

Seriously are you comparing DC to half the country to likes of say Idaho? Half of the DC area did not vote for Trump. Just stop please. Take your right wing garbage elsewhere. Not sure what your pleasure is coming on here disparaging your son’s sister school but let it go, take a deep breath, breathe, go for a walk and do anything else that is productive with your day.your bashing of NCS makes you look bad not the school.
