Been a while since I've connected with Holy Trinity in Georgetown, but my experience is it is very much a Jesuit school. Not really right-of-center.
Nah, there are plenty of families like this at SSSAS.

Agree . The MAGA crowd is heading to Visi for HS

Obvious troll. You can do better.

On the other hand, I have a cousin who definitely does fit your description and she sent her kids to Fairfax Public Schools (and went there as well) and they've worked well for her and for her family.
+1
Our family is a lot like yours and we love Fairfax county schools, Langley HS to be exact. The school board is left leaning but the kids and families are generally right of center and more normal than a lot of the privates mentioned in the thread.

Probably need to indicate your race (assume white) as that’s a key aspect of what you mean by “southern” and which probably doesn’t quite match that of my black extended family members hailing from various states across the southeast.

No to NCS. They are extremely far left, especially with regards to LGBTQ+. They seem to be encouraging the trans epidemic within their student body.

My spouse and I are one of those traditional Republicans who have never voted for Trump, but have held our noses and voted Democrats the last 3 elections. 😣 Nowadays, we call ourselves Independents. Both political parties sucks.

A dying breed to be sure, but we do still exist. Most of us have not been happy with *any* Congress or any Presidential administration this century.
If you voted for Trump (or even just didn’t vote against him) then you are MAGA. You are pretending that you’re better than MAGA by giving it some pretend label. There are zero episcopal schools in the DMV that are maga friendly. Your beliefs are limited to Catholic and Christian academy only. Trust me. Unless you bribe the shit out of your peers at episcopal schools then you are socially toast. And even if you do bribe them, it’s a transactional connection only.
DP, but the handful of old-school Reagan/McCain Republicans I know did not vote for Trump, but “held their noses” and voted for Harris and are not maga. They are also not Democrat and do still consider themselves Republican but have to jump through all kinds of verbal hoops to justify their existence to folks like you.
As fractured as the politics in our country have become, there are still people who exist on all parts of the spectrum.

Speak for yourself. Also at SSSAS and I don’t think your represent the majority. And I think your probably a weird troll.
I've noticed that the left-leaning frequently can't imagine they aren't in the majority. I guess that's natural when you are as sure of the rightness of your politics as many of them are.

There still are - and they did not vote for Trump. They held their noses and voted for Harris as the least undesirable candidate. If PP had said there are fewer traditional conservatives now, that would have been true. Moderate Republicans (which also still exist) also held their noses and voted for Harris, btw, for the same reasons.

Given taxpayers are paying for Trump to refurbish his plane redo the rose garden support his own golf courses and fund him completely instead of paying down the National debt
