20. I didn't say that it didn't go on at elite prep schools

look at the link I posted above where 14 kids were expelled from Choate in Wallingford, CT for cocaine trafficking. The point of my OP was that some posters over the past week or two have made it sound like what happened with Brett Kavanaugh at Georgetown Prep and Dr. Ford from Holton Arms was exclusive to elite prep schools. But, it is not exclusive to that kind of setting. It is a problem at all schools - public, private, wealthy, poor, middle class and everywhere else. (i.e., I used to cover high school and college sports as a hobby/part time job in the early to mid 1990s and many schools would bend over backwards to protect the star athlete if they did anything bad, even if the school was located in a poor urban setting.)
