KAVANAUGH’S HIGH SCHOOL, GEORGETOWN PREP, WARNED PARENTS IN 1990 OF “SEXUAL OR VIOLENT BEHAVIOR” AT PARTIES
ACCORDING TO A 1990 article in the Washington Post, the headmasters from seven prestigious Washington, D.C.-area private schools sent a joint letter that year to parents, warning them that their children had developed a party culture that included heavy drinking leading to “sexual or violent behavior.”
One of the schools was Georgetown Prep, from which Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh graduated in 1983. Christine Blasey Ford, who during congressional testimony on Thursday described being sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh in 1982, attended one of the other schools, Holton-Arms.
The Post article also reported that before the letter was sent, Georgetown Prep had “held a conference with parents to discuss the problem of unsupervised parties.”
Malcolm Coates, then-headmaster of the Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland, is quoted saying that the schools decided to write the letter jointly “to give it more impact. … The fact that seven schools decided it was enough of a problem to address it is significant.”
