Controversies The TV animated series Family Guy, about a dysfunctional Rhode Island family, premiered in January 1999 and was created by Seth MacFarlane, a 1991 graduate of Kent School. The school's headmaster, Richardson W. Schell, wrote to a number of companies urging them against advertising with the TV show, which he described as "obnoxious". MacFarlane's parents, who worked at the school, resigned in protest. In 2017, The New York Times reported on a lawsuit alleging that Kent School failed to report alleged sexual misconduct by a faculty member toward a 15-year-old student in 1987 and 1988. The report came on the heels of The Boston Globe's "Spotlight" team revealing decades of alleged sexual abuse at numerous New England prep schools and alleged retaliation for student complaints. The reporters noted faculty alleged as abusers being relocated to different schools, including Kent. See also List of Kent School people – notable Kent School alumni and faculty William G.
