Thought crimes are everywhere. I found a library of thought crimes in my own head.
An important part of the “America is racist” propaganda is the suppression of reports of how racist are other countries.
Example: when Black citizen enters a UK bus he’s greeted with “monkey noises.” Same thing if it’s a Black substitute in a game.
I know this because I read UK media. US media knows it but to keep their jobs, employees suppress it because “US is racist”.
All this from what was considered the top prep school in the world.
Tuition is in the range of $70K/year.
IF I was a billionaire, and could afford to send my son or daughter to a place like this, I would reconsider.
The fact is that most very rich people are not stupid. They are NOT indoctrinated liberals. IMHO, this would be bad for business. If you can afford to send your child to any private school in the world, why send them to a place that teaches this BS.
There are many other elite prep schools that do not promote this crap. Send your kids to Holderness instead.
Or move to somewhere there are good public schools
White fragility? Good God...where do I begin?
Where in the US, pray tell, is that?
Exeter is on of a handful of what are known as “ feeder schools “ that funnel their grads into prestigious universities like Harvard aka a “ivy school”
When I went to college I had several classmates from Phillips Exeter. Privileged class, for sure, well prepared academically; but ready to rule, hardly. Even then (60s) they were run of the mill liberals.
Actually the public schools in NH are rated as some of the best in the country.
Right down the street from my office in Nashua, NH is The Academy of Science and Design. It is a NH public Charter school. It is a middle & high school. It is free to all NH residents. However, you have to test to get in. Then because of demand, they have a lottery to get in.
It is ranked as the number one high school in the state of NH. Some MA residents PAY to bring their children to this school. The border is about eight miles south.
FYI, they have no major sports teams. No lighted football stadium. One of the only sports teams are track and field.
Busing is provided for students who live in the city of Nashua. If you live outside of Nashua, you need to deliver your children to school. Therefore, every morning on my way to work there is a line of cars making the left turn to get to school.
Let me point out that there is a large percentage of ethnic Asian people in these cars I pass. Especially since Asians only make up about 3% of the NH population.
And then there is Souhegan High School in Amherst, NH. My son went there and fortunately, didn’t waste our family money on college. Instead, he got a part-time retail job that changed to full-time in six months and leadership positions up to store management in less than three years.
I had a chance to talk to some of the students in 2016 during the local elections and I was appalled at their ignorance of civics and the Constitution.
Souhegan continues to suck up volumes of taxpayer money to produce societal drones, ready to do whatever is displayed on their cell phones.
I drove by there last night and there was a crowd of these idiots out holding signs protesting for Gaza. Rich idiots
Communist race and gender indoctrination had been going on for a long time before George Floyd’s drug over dose death. On the bright side, the BLM riots caused a back lash to Critical Race Theory and DEI to build.
I can’t wait until we get to buy Souhegan another $1 million dollar field for football.
It is almost ten years old, so it is going to need to be replaced soon.
A couple guys in my office were all for this field when it was first purchased. Mostly because some individual was kicking in $500K. These guys also had kids in scholastic sports.
No one ever mentioned back then that the field would need to be replaced in ten years for another $1MM + cost.
I say, tear it out and replace it with grass.
Many, if not all, of those prestigious New England prep schools have succumbed to DIE.
BTTT
Holderness ( I actually looked this school up a few weeks ago and read, FROM THEIR SITE, what was what there !)is NOT the same as it was in the early-mid 1960s and neither are ANY of the other boarding schools that I know. Neither are the elite of the elite private day schools in N.H., N.Y., Mass., Ct., etc.!
And even in the 1980s, many of these boarding schools ( Middlesex, for example, was getting "loopy"! ) were NOT anything at all like they once were, when I went to one. But at least in the '80s, scholastics were more or less ( somewhat less, though, than say in the 1950s-early '60s ) at a high level.
Today, yes, even with the WOKE, and worse garbage, these kids are learning more than they would at public school; which isn't saying much really.
“FEEDER SCHOOLS” aren’t quite what they used to be; though yes, going to one DOES give that kid somewhat of an edge; though NOT over the “protected” ( homeless stories, race, sexually confused, whatever ) kids.
