Alumni from Kirstjen Nielsen's Tampa high school condemn her in open letter to school's headmaster

TAMPA, Fla. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is facing backlash from her Tampa high school after she went before a national audience defending the Trump administration's highly scrutinized immigration policy. On Tuesday, a group of alumni from Berkeley Preparatory School drafted a petition opposing her and calling for the school to condemn her actions.
"Secretary Nielsen, Class of 90, does not reflect the core values that were taught at our independent high school, especially the value ingrained in most graduates heads: Make a positive difference, and use your privilege for good," the group of alumni wrote in a press release.
This comes just a day after Nielsen declined to apologize for the administrations family separation practices. "We will not apologize for the job we do or for the job law enforcement does for doing the job that the American people expect us to do," Nielsen said on Monday. "Illegal actions have and must have consequences. No more free passes, no more get out of jail free cards."

In a letter to Berkeley Preparatory School Headmaster Joseph Seivold, the group asked:
"Today, we respectfully request that you condemn the policies causing the separation of children from their families at the US-Mexico border, implemented and enforced by Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen known to us as Kirstjen Nielsen, Class of 1990."

I lived less than two blocks from that school the last three years I lived in Tampa. I lived for 23 years near it, it's in the area known as Town n Country. We lived in the country part when we first moved there in 62. Berkeley Prep has always been for the wealthy and well connected, although it is in a neighborhood that is middle class to varying degrees.
