520 "A shocking exposé of sexual abuse and the struggle for
justice at one of America's most prestigious schools The
Horace Mann School, located in the Riverdale section of
the Bronx, represents the pinnacle of private education.
With all its accolades and prestige, few could have
anticipated the scandal that erupted in 2012 when The New
York Times Magazine ran a cover story by the journalist
and Horace Mann alumnus Amos Kamil detailing a decades-
long pattern of sexual abuse by teachers. In Great Is the
Truth, Kamil and his coauthor, Sean Elder, uncover the
full story of what happened at Horace Mann, and recount
what has occurred in the aftermath of Kamil's watershed
article. With craft and poise, they reveal a high-stakes
environment of demanding academics and barely hidden
debauchery, where many faculty members exploited their
unchecked and undue influence to horrifying ends. Fast-
forwarding to the present, Kamil and Elder relate how
survivors emerged and petitioned for redress with the aid
of celebrity lawyers while administrators and trustees
scrambled to protect the school and themselves. They also
look closely at how other schools have responded to
scandal, often with far greater compassion and candor. How
can institutions rectify their complicity in abuse and
prevent it from recurring? How can victims achieve their
due? "Great is the truth and it prevails," may be the
motto of Horace Mann, but for many alumni, the truth
remains all too hard to come by"--|cProvided by publisher.
