But surely the references were better concealed, and no racist stuff was going to go through. I graduated from a public HS in the MD suburbs, and both the student staff and the teachers who oversaw the Yearbook Club definitely edited anything out they found possibly objectionable. Maybe our school's staff was hipper?

The Google Doc incident was several years ago. No way it was written by a current sophomore (unless you mean a college sophomore). The boys involved are gone from the Close, and frankly that class was notorious.


Nope. My DS showed me the letter on Friday from the current sophomore. It has since been removed.

So is there any truth to the allegations or is this a CYA move by the school and parents resulting in squashing the discussion and continuing a negative school culture?


Seriously, shouldn't the school be more worried that their students had been assaulted? What kind of parents do these girls have? The boys' parents are probably a lost cause.

How was this handled by NCS Administration?


My son was going to show me the letter but was surprised to find it removed from the internet. I guess someone at NCS handled it by warning the girl and all who signed it against making false accusations.

Attacking the speaker when you don't like what they are saying ... now where have we seen that before?

Is this all you could come up with to respond to the PP? What's wrong with you people? Like it's a secret that (many) kids in exclusive (and very expensive) schools are spoiled and entitled...
