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 McCallie in Chattanooga, which is rocketing to position as one of the top-performing prep schools in North America.

You're behind the times!

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.
