[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to beat Georgetown Prep on its notable alumni … two Supreme Court justices ( Gorsuch and Kavanaugh) and the ( now former) head of the federal reserve Jerome Powell. RFK Jr. is an alum as well. 
Sidwell’s notable alumni are mostly kids of presidents and not people who accomplished much in their own right. [/quote]

How dare you besmirch the name of Bill Nye the Science Guy.[/quote]

I’m sure he’s accomplished more than you:

After graduating from Sidwell Friends School, Nye attended Cornell University, where he studied at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Nye began his career as a mechanical engineer for Boeing in Seattle, where he invented a hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on 747 airplanes.

The television show, “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” ran from 1993 to 1998 in national TV syndication. The program was critically acclaimed, and was nominated for 23 Emmy Awards, winning 19, including Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming for Nye himself.

In 2024, Nye was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On January 4, 2025, Nye was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Joe Biden.[/quote]
You seem to have missed the point that pp was offended on Bill Nye’s behalf at being lumped in with the likes of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.[/quote]
