[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it the height by far the most conservative and strict and religious?[/quote]

Its most conservative by default that every other school in the area is extremely liberal. Its religiously conservative, but has to have some liberal families if its in the DMV.[/quote]

Is the Heights school anti-gay?[/quote]

The Heights is a catholic school. The catholic church believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. So you could say that The Heights (as all Catholic school should) teaches against homosexuality while maintaing the belief that we should hate the sin, not the sinner![/quote]
This is true exclusively for The Heights
The Heights t is extremely conservative.  The boys are told to remain chaste until marriage. (sex free) obviously at a school like this homosexuality would be condemned.
For example: Commentary from a Heights parent: “one non Heights mother she met at her son’s swim meet “would put condoms in her son’s Christmas stockings,” she said. The Heights mothers were different...“Talking with other Heights mothers, [b]we shared a hope our sons would remain chaste until marriage,” Ms. Maher said. “I found it comforting to find other mothers who shared that ideal, and[/b] who felt it was possible here, that it was a hope that was supported here.”

After reading this article, there’s zero chance that the Heights School is elite.  In 2022, all elite schools are extremely inclusive.  Diversity is something that is embraced. These schools are trying to prepare our children to acclimate to the real world once they finish. Not create homophobic and discriminatory bubbles.

Well you can argue with the facts all you want, but believe it or not, whether someone agrees or disagrees with you politically or religiously, it doesn't make their school less "elite."

Got to love the tolerant left --- tolerant except when someone disagrees with them on anything![/quote]
