An ex-student of the $40,000-a-year Washington DC private school attended by former presidents' children, is suing the institution after she failed to gain unconditional acceptance from 13 top colleges. Dayo Adetu – who attended Sidwell Friends School from 2000 to 2014 – claims in a lawsuit that the school acted against her in college applications, test scores, rankings and recommendations, after she had previously settled for $50,000 in a July 2013 discrimination suit. Adetu's parents Titilayo and Nike Adetu had accused the school of using 'biased, improper scoring' and claimed they accommodated for other students' involvement in athletics but 'steadfastly refused' to do the same for their daughter, mainly when it came to mathematics.

This Miss Adetu must be dumber than AOC if she could not get into any high level school, even Spielman, despite her checking the correct box for race. She thinks can ride her race to the 1%.

“she failed to gain unconditional acceptance from 13 top colleges.”

There is no guarantee to getting acceptance to top colleges.

And this says she didn’t get UNCONDITIONAL acceptance, so she was accepted to some, with some conditions, which is not unreasonable.

Some people have unrealistic expectations about how life should be. Who or what experiences gave her such expectations about how her life would proceed?

She did finally wind up going to University of Pennsylvania, which was one of her initial choices.

This girl and both her parents seem like professional complainers who never stop grasping for more unearned money. They give other Nigerians a bad name.
This happened way back in 2014, and still, they are ranting and raving. They could give Michelle Obama lessons on World Class Grifting. I’ll bet they have tried to ask the Obamas to stick up for them. “Won’t you help your poor Black sister?”

Yeah, every other Nigerian I’ve ever met was a real prince.

I wonder whatever happened to that girl from NJ who sued her parents when they wouldn’t pony up the dough to keep her at a private school?

Hmmm...suing the school for her failure. Must be a Democrat.

Courts should find against her with prejudice, charge her for court costs, and order her to reimburse the school's legal fees. Likely she wouldn't learn from that judgment. But it would be justice.

Probably didn’t get the best grades and couldn’t parlay that into acceptance at the College of her choice.

Maybe Mom and Dad can pony-up and pay a college for their daughter’s acceptance, like everyone else does.

July 3, 2018..
Trump EPA chief Scott Pruitt became the latest administration official targeted in public when a teacher from the prestigious Sidwell Friends School confronted him at a Wash. DC, restaurant on Monday.

Sidwell Friends teacher Kristin Mink brags about harassing Trump official. Mink was prepared with a cameraman and written notes.
“Hi. I just wanted to urge you to resign, because of what you’re doing to the environment. This is my son, he loves animals and clean water!”

She’s entitled. She will go through life expecting everything free because of her victim status.
