Talk:Georgetown Preparatory School

message: Should we add a section that discusses the well-publicized sexual abuse scandal?  On April 11, 2005, Georgetown Prep school officials sent out a letter informing parents and alumni that Father Garrett (Gary) Orr, who had taught there for 14 years, was guilty of molesting a student. After a three year investigation by the Jesuit provincial, Fr. Orr, who was no longer involved with or living at the school, had his priestly duties suspended by the Maryland Provincial and removed from all provincially assigned duties.  The investigation also unearthed details of another incident from 2003 in which a female teacher was dismissed for having affairs with two students.  The story and the school's handling of the situation is discussed at length by Mark Gauvreau Judge in his memoir "God and Man at Georgetown Prep."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.207.97 (talk) 14:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Alumni Section

message: Isn't this the school featured in the famous book "God and Man at Georgetown Prep?"  The book detailed how a world famous all-boys prep school outside Washington was undermined by left-wing Jesuits and hippie teachers. The students were instructed in graphic sex ed - including abortion - by Bernie Ward (now a socialist radio talker in San Francisco) and had a bachelor party for a teacher (with a stripper present). Alcoholism was rampant, as was homosexuality in the clergy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.205.4.66 (talk) 18:50, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  God and Man at Georgetown Prep? 

message: Some schools are better at keeping their dirty laundry in the closet.  The "God & Man at Georgetown Prep" author seems to have an axe to grind -- drinking! in high school!  While Sidwell Friends has had a BB coach who got too close for comfort with young students, a long time teacher charged with abusing yound boys and parents and teachers consorting to the dismay of the cuckolded husband.  You won't hear muc about this -- but when the young lads of Landon show an interest in girl's their own age it's national news.  Sigh.--Wapo012010 (talk) 20:28, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
