THE GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL ( NEW YORK CITY )
Posted on 03/11/2021 7:32:01 PM PST by SeekAndFind
People are troubled about the leftward and radical direction that it seems many schools are going.
As I previously wrote, Bari Weiss wrote a great story about how even the private elite schools are being inundated with this stuff and that parents are organizing in secret against it.
But it’s everywhere. People are seeing it now, but the indoctrination has been going on for decades, so it’s entrenched on every level.
But it’s getting even crazier, as a segment revealed on Fox and Friends. They saw a part in the Bari Weiss story about one particular school. The hosts and Newt Gingrich spoke about the Manhattan private school, Grace Church School, which charges a boatload of money to send your kids there wants the kids to be more inclusive, so they send out a 12 page guide to their students and staff of words to use.
Among the words they were saying should not be used? “Mom” and Dad” and “parents.” Instead they said you should use “grown-ups,” “folks,” “family” or “guardians.” Why? Because it makes assumptions about kids’ home lives and they “actively try to undo notions of a “typical” or “normal” family structure.”
Woke $57k-a-year Grace Church School (@GCSchoolNYC) is telling students to stop referencing “mom” & “dad” — at their own homes! Also, students can’t ask each other “where are you from?” or use polite terms like “ladies & gentlemen."
And, of course, no “Merry Christmas.” pic.twitter.com/e78yd0qEWN

Instead of “boys and girls,” “guys,” “ladies and gentleman,” you should use “people,” “folks,” friends,” “readers,” “mathematicians.” Instead of “Merry Christmas” or even “Happy Holidays,” you should use “Have a great break” (Fox depicted that slightly incorrectly). Now you’re not even supposed to use the ambiguous “Happy holidays,” that’s still apparently somehow suggesting religiosity which might be offensive to someone.
The guide also included pronouns, preferred words on gender, sexual orientation race and ethnicity. The school said the point was to “promote a sense of belonging for all of our students.” “As part of our Episcopal identity, we recognize the dignity and worth common to humanity,” the school said.
They’re literally admitting their purpose is to upend the traditional family.
According to the Daily Mail, the school also offers courses and after-school programs that include “single-gender groups, a Roots of Empathy program, and a course called ‘Allying: Why? Who? and How?’ which is offered to seniors.”
The curriculum for that particular program, according to the City Journal, includes a photograph of a burning police car in a ‘zine called ‘Accomplices not Allies’.
The photograph is teamed with a declaration that ‘the work of an accomplice in anti-colonial struggle is to attack colonial structures & ideas’.
Oh. What part of that has to do with dignity, Grace Church?
This apparently is one of the parents.
I’m proud to be a parent at GRace Church School which is trying to lead the way into a kind and just society for all children. Go Grace Go!

Except she doesn’t get she just violated the school’s inclusion glossary by calling herself a “parent” and not a “guardian.” Whoops, guess she just got a fail in wokeness.
Don’t tell my kids what to say or what not to say.
How about that?
Or give me a full refund and never contact us ever again.
When enough parents stop funding this liberal garbage voluntarily it will naturally go down on its own.
Otherwise your money just encourages more of it.
Instead of, “Here’s a check for my child’s tuition for this year,” at Grace we say, “I’m withdrawing my child to get away from your school’s liberal nonsense.”
I wonder if they read the Bible at the Grace Church School.
RE: Or give me a full refund and never contact us ever again.
Why spend $57,000 enrolling your kids in the school in the first place?
NYC folks
They know how dangerous and crappy nyc public schools are...
And know their kids will not learn anything at all there...
And its a parental bragging/prestige thing as well...
Follow the kids home from this school and see what’s behind the door. That’s the real reason this school can enforce such nonsense. Monied liberals.
.
If race is something you can “self-identify,” then we can all get reparation payments.
Many parents are not paying attention - they haven’t done so for decades. They hand the kids over to the school, and rest mindlessly in the assumption that ‘everything is all right.’
We’ve become a nation largely of fools whose culture is being determined by poorly-educated ignoramuses who have fallen, without any critical thought employed on their own part, for every fad that comes along and ensures the continuation of their paychecks.
I’ll take public school
For free. Thanks
Our property taxes pay for your “free “ publik skools.
It’s New York. The rich liberal Biden donors who send their kids there do it to make sure they are taught the correct things to think and say.
The fact that this “school” [read: indoctrination center] has the word “church” in it is quite paradoxical in that it has these nuclear-family-destroying and ridiculous word games going on.
When enough parents stop funding this liberal garbage voluntarily it will naturally go down on its own.
Otherwise your money just encourages more of it.

This!
May this den of Satanic liars go bankrupt as soon as possible.
All this stuff is standard in all government schools everywhere as well...
Has been for a very long time...
RE: I’ll take public school For free. Thanks
And what makes you think the public schools won’t teach children the same things this private school is teaching?
