Great Is the Truth: Secrecy, Scandal, and the Quest for Justice at the Horace Mann School

“Part memoir, part investigative reporting . . . a richly layered and ultimately balanced account of the decades-long trend of sexual abuse at Horace Mann.” —Sarah Saffian, author of Ithaka

In June 2012, Amos Kamil’s New York Times Magazine cover story, “Prep-School Predators,” caused a shock wave that is still rippling. In his piece, Kamil detailed a decades-long pattern of sexual abuse at the highly prestigious Horace Mann School in the Bronx. After the article appeared, Kamil closely observed the fallout. While the article revealed the misdeeds of three teachers, this was just the beginning: an extraordinary twenty-two former Horace Mann teachers and administrators have since been accused of abuse.

In gripping detail, Kamil and his coauthor, Sean Elder, relate what happened as survivors of abuse came forward and sought redress. We see the school and its influential backers circle the wagons. We meet Horace Mann alumni who work to change New York State’s sexual abuse laws. We follow a celebrity lawyer’s contentious efforts to achieve a settlement. And we encounter a former teacher who candidly recalls his inappropriate relationships with students. Kamil and Elder also examine other institutions—from prep schools to the Catholic Church—that have sought to atone for their complicity in abuse and to prevent it from reoccurring.

“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. This book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand how an elite institution can fail those in its charge, and what can be done about it.
