Ah the still soft voice of the Quaker community that is Sidwell Friends, where simplicity and selflessness are bywords of the faith… To be part of this educational community is to feel and reflect the values of the Society founded by George Fox so long ago.
Or not. Apparently so many Sidwell parents have verbally assaulted the counseling staff for failing to get the kid into Harvard that most of the staff has resigned, and the head of school has written a sweet letter to all parents about how “love blurs our vision” when it comes to the little ones; when we shriek obscenities at the staff we know not what we do.
To which UD says Awwww.
Has headmaster had a chance to look up close and personal at the Varsity Blues folks about to go to prison? Is it really your sense that the problem these people have is fuzzy over-fondness?
Quite a few of your students are cubs of America’s most brutal predators. Said predators don’t take kindly to kinks in the multigenerational winner-take-all masterplan.
Masters of the Universe don’t barely get into U Minnesota; they power their way into Princeton.
And now Brothers and Sisters, let us pray.

When true venality is gained
To bribe and to spend we will not be ashamed
To churn burn will be our delight
’til by churning burning we come round right
Oh… Quakers, not Shakers. Never mind.
