Tucker Carlson claimed that he was banned from speaking at his prep school Alma Mater because administration thought he was 'too dangerous' and that 'people could be killed.' Video of Carlson talking to a group of students from St. George's School on Zoom was posted on X, as he told them about the lengthy ordeal he had to go through in order to speak to them. Carlson attended the boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island as a teenager, sent his three children there and even got married on campus to his wife Susan Andrews, who also attended the school.

An affluent New York prep school reportedly told students to call Newton’s Laws of Motion the “three fundamental laws of physics” in attempts to “decenter whiteness.” Fieldston School in New York City offers elite academic and science programs for high schoolers, journalist Bari Weiss wrote in a Tuesday piece on “miseducation of America’s elites,” but the school reportedly fosters an ideologically charged environment that scares students from speaking out on their own viewpoints with the thought of social shaming. “If you publish my name, it would ruin my life,” one student reportedly told Weiss. “People would attack me for even...

Robert Mueller went to a New England prep school where he was John Kerry's lacrosse captainSo John Kerry are Robert Mueller are old high school buddies, well, well, well. One is actively trying to prove Russian collusion exists where none does, using the court system to violate attorney/client privilege in an effort to give credit to a slimy porn star and her even slimier lawyer while the other is secretly violating the Logan Act [(1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799); a federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute...

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland – Something wasn’t right here. Not only was the hall suddenly overflowing, these were a different breed. Something subtly amiss grew increasingly creepy by the minute. Unthreatening enough not to cause panic but perceptibly subversive and sinister enough to trigger alarms. Then it became clear. It was an invasion. By an entirely alien invasive species. The polyester-blend nation of Stepford Republicans had seized control of the conservative conference known as CPAC. It was obvious the crowd for Jeb Bush had been imported. It wasn’t just the overflowing hall. Or the suspicious number of Bush stickers on lapels...

Private school homecoming party gets way out of hand. Parents arrestedBeing the cool parents at a ritzy private high school has come at a cost for one South Florida couple. Shlomo “Steve” and Jeannie Rasabi were arrested over the weekend for throwing the homecoming party of the decade for their teenage sons and about 500 of their closest Facebook and Myspace friends.

Is it too late for Billy Bulger to become the headmaster of a New England prep school? Didn’t you always think of these headmasters, if you thought of them at all, as old, musty, crusty Yankee types, in bow ties and cuffed pants, prattling on about “honor” at the Somerset Club? No mas, baby. Running a prep school is a big-money job, and it’s not just for guys anymore either. Last weekend the Wall Street Journal ran a story about the skyrocketing salaries. And one of the top “earners,” to use the mob terminology so familiar to the Bulgerites who...

Milton Academy rocked by expulsions By Michael Levenson and Jenna Russell, Globe Correspondent and Globe Staff | February 20, 2005 MILTON -- A Milton Academy official said yesterday the school's decision to expel five male students for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old sophomore girl was ''excruciating" but necessary to send a strong message to students, as students and parents expressed mixed reactions to the discipline. Three sophomores and two juniors, all members of the boys hockey team, were expelled from the picturesque private campus Friday, after a three-day school investigation found that they requested and received oral sex from...

CONCORD, N.H. — He was a champion debater, a good student, a strong and graceful athlete in a small, judgmental universe that prized such skills and knew him well. But for five formative years, John Kerry stood a step apart at St. Paul's School, gaining achievement more than acceptance.
