Still true, I think...the most frequently asked question from boys in physical science is "When are we going to blow something up??" ;-)
So, there would be no story here other than rules put in place following 9-11 and the youngsters attending an exclusive, private school. Let's bash rich kids and their parents, seems to me in this case.
Years ago my children attended this school. Teachers and staff were excellent. Kids do stuff. Doesn't warrant anything other than a good talking to by parents and school staff IMO. Much ado about prejudice, looks like.
