Even Sidwell has a Young republicans Club. Most schools do. So what?

This is unacceptable; are trans kids a jokey-joke measuring stick?

Sounds like using a reference to the n word as a bar for low status.

Repugnant! We won’t consider schools that have toxic culture for trans, though our kids are cis.

Please do not suggest that people drive to the campus to check it out. The neighborhood counts cars going up and down Potomac School Road and the school must pay a fine if the allocation is exceeded. That is why the school has students board buses within a mile of the school, in order to alleviate the number of times the clicker is triggered in the road.


Why would the school choose such an unpleasant neighborhood for its location? Those neighbors do not sound welcoming.


The school was there before the neighborhood.

No, that's not right and you know it!

All the more reason for Potomac to tell those unwelcoming neighbors to stuff it!

How is that even legal? Looks like Potomac School Road is a public road with homes on it right up to the entrance of the school.
you not get in there anyway since there is armed security at the gate

No dog in this fight but know several Potomac families and they are nice as they can be with down to earth kids.

Potomac sounds like a really nice country club. I heard they even offer classes! With real teachers! I can't wait until the Lazy River opens.
