I was shocked and appalled when I read in the New York Times about the secret society of mean girls at the elite Miss Porter's prep school. What is going on? Has Kate Endicott jumped off the pages of my book and entered the real world ? This is super scary that things like this go on in real life--and that reality is scarier than fiction. The girls involved in this "secret society" allegedly call themselves Oprichniki after a 16th century Russian torture squad!@??!!
Here's a quote from the New York Time's piece:
"Then, somewhere along the line, everything unraveled. By her own admission, she skipped classes and cheated on an art history test. And while the school cited those transgressions when it expelled Miss Bass in November, her side of the story is much darker: in a lawsuit against Miss Porter’s, Miss Bass says she was driven to a nervous breakdown by constant harassment from a secret society of girls who call themselves the Oprichniki, taking their nickname from a 16th-century Russian torture squad."
Horrible, horrible, horrible!! This story has already been picked up by Jezebel, Gothamist, Mediabistro and FishBowlNY. Girls, what is going on? This is so uncool and the girls involved in this "clique" should be the ones expelled. What are your thoughts?
