Georgetown Prep tweeted the following tweet congratulating Kavanaugh and really congratulating themselves. Is it tone-deafness, is it a poke in-the-eye to all honorable men and women, it is a big FFFFFFU to the civilized world, is it endearing themselves to the GOP power brokers, it is trying to recruit a fresh batch of sons of the rich and unscrupulous or are they simply proud to be part of the good old GOP/Trump boys club?
As is to be expected, the responses are brutal and well-deserved.
Epilogue
Has Georgetown Prep learnt anything from this sordid affair? Will there be changes in curriculum? Courses in ethics and morals? Training in respect and honor? How should schools instill values into students and prevent underage drinking, misogyny and sexual assaults? Are we as parents doing enough? Or is it a losing battle given the demons in our own nature? Or the children our children hang out with? Given that so many people adore sexual assaulter, hate-monger and fraudster Trump, what values will their children and their friends absorb?
