[quote=Anonymous]For folks unfamiliar with the history of GDS, the school was founded by African-American and Jewish families who were shut out of other schools in then-segregated Washington. Not surprising that Jews make up a large portion of student body. And there are more AA students than at any of the other Big 3/4/5 schools. For folks who are also unaware, the Cathedral schools, NPS, St. Pat's, etc devote a portion of the students' school time to chapel, etc. GDS holds a Christmas assembly as well as a Passover seder. The Passover seder may be one of the most "accessible" entry points to understanding Judaic history. I regret that a parent is dismayed that school funds are expended on it. And I am not Jewish....[/quote]
