[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Prep as well at the same time as Justice Kavanaugh.  The more I read about it in the news, the more I realize what a special and unique institution it really is.  If you have boys, you should do them a favor and send them there.  They will truly appreciate it.  Maybe one day, they can grow up to be a Supreme Court Justice, Federal Reserve Chair, senator, congressman, own an NFL team, be GM of the Yankees, NBA All-Star, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Michelin Starred chef, receive the Medal of Honor, Pulitzer Prize, Emmy Award or save lives by inventing chemotherapy.  Until then, stop criticizing an institution you know little or nothing about.[/quote]

There are many people who know a lot about Prep who are appalled by the culture that existed during those years. Just because you attended and loved it doesn’t mean that others don’t have a legitimate issue (and first hand experience) with the pervasive misogyny. Were there wonderful students there at the time? Absolutely. Were many of those students successful? Absolutely. But just because all of that is true doesn’t mean there wasn’t also a very serious problem. It’s not an either/or situation. [/quote]

That culture was and is everywhere.  It is at all the W schools and most of the other privates. This isn't a prep issue as it didn't happen on campus.  This is a parenting/child issues parents are not supervising their kids nor care what their kids are doing.  They are too busy with their lives to be bothered paying attention to what their kids are doing. I went to MCPS public and knew about that culture with specific kids.  There were plenty of drugs, alcohol, parties without parent supervision.  This is not exclusive to Prep before or now.  This still goes on.[/quote]
