Richardson W. Schell (born 1951 in Evansville, Illinois) is an Episcopal priest who has served as the headmaster of Kent School from 1981 until 2020.
[1] During his tenure, he was recognized for his leadership during the consolidation of separate boys and girls campuses into one fully coeducational school.
In 1999, Schell made national news for his part in attempting—under the banner of Proud Sponsors USA—to dissuade advertisers from running ads during Seth MacFarlane's show, Family Guy.
Elaine Griffin had also been a close friend of his parents and he said he had no motive as to why he would want to make fun of her.
[5][6] While Schell had some small-scale success getting advertisers to withdraw from the show, it ultimately did not impact Family Guy much in the long-term.
