‘The “senior salute” was not part of the culture when I attended St. Paul’s from 1997 to 2000, nor was it around for students who graduated just five years ago.’
Prior to the current trial, Michael G. Hirschfeld, the Rector of St. Paul’s School wrote to the students, parents, and alumni about privilege, and the mission of a Christian institution that schools those privileged to be there.
The case has already raised uncomfortable questions about the connection between privilege and sexual assault, and between sexual assault in American colleges and in high schools.
