“Furious” Parents Slam NYC’s “Woke” $57K Spence School After It Shows Video Calling White Women “Entitled” And “Annoying”

More and more, it seems like people have had enough with the critical race theory hoax.

Most recently, parents of students at New York City’s $57,000 per year Spence School are pushing back after students at the all-girls school were shown a video that mocked “entitled” and “annoying” white women.

The Upper East Side school is now dealing with a letter-writing campaign by parents demanding the school take a ‘step backward’ from its woke agenda, according to The Daily Mail.

Video shown to the students was of Ziwe Fumudoh’s Showtime show, Ziwe, where at one point the host says to a guest: “I believe that you are not concerned with how annoying white women can be.”

“What percentage of white women do you hate? And there is a right answer,” the host said later in the video. At one point, the video showed the host satirically sitting down with four white women named Karen. The host also read aloud the lyrics to Cardi B song “Wet Ass P*ssy” in the video.

One upset mother, Gabriela Baron, told the NY Post: “We will have our day. This is becoming a culture war. I guess that’s what people want, instead of being truthful.”

Baron​​​

She called the video a “blatantly racist’’ video that “tarred and feathered’’ white women.

Another mother said that the school needs “a step backward to jump off the bandwagon of this rhetoric that has been going on, to sort of take a look at what you mean to do when you educate a young person.”

“Showing a video like that is not education, that’s junk,’’ she said. “I didn’t realize that a Spence teacher would feel empowered to do something like that.”

Despite an apology from Spence’s head of school, parents weren’t satisfied. “Parents want to know what steps they’re going to take with this particular teacher and with the students that went through it. There should be outreach to the children,’’ one mother said.

“We take this seriously; it is never acceptable to ridicule anyone at any time,” head of school Brodie Brizendine wrote to parents. “This video is not part of the Spence curriculum. Our teacher and the School acknowledge that sharing a satirical video that made fun of white women was a significant mistake. We are sorry for any harm this has caused to anyone in our community.”

“We felt it wasn’t appropriate, that kind of beating up of the Western canon,’’ another woman told the NY Post. “I wish it were just isolated at Spence. We all know the ‘wokeness’ is so huge.’’

News anchor Megyn Kelly also pulled her daughter out of Spence earlier this year, citing the school’s “hard left” leanings. About this incident, she Tweeted: “(Another) Spence parent pulls her kid after grossly racist episode attacking white women is forced on girls in class on last day of school. We just left this school bc of its growing far-left indoctrination. This is a place we’ve loved-breaks my heart they’re doing this.”

It matters not — the match is lit.

For once I encourage these moms to go Karen on the school district and throw the bums out then remove all curriculum wokeness.

“ “entitled” and “annoying” white women. ”

At least they aren’t uppity.

Just a letter writing campaign? How about pulling the kids out, demanding refunds, and researching litigation options for dealing with the rogue instructor?

PING!

Is it too mean of me to suggest the teacher be tarred and feathered?

Good grief, Spence has been writing “you just don’t understand” explanation letters all year. How many times are people going to believe their nonsense? Just walk away and stop expecting them to change.

Is it possible that some of these people complaining have been voting for this garbage for 20+ years? Doesn’t make it right. Doesn’t make it better. But as one Freeper said. The match is lit. Not sure how you stop this nonsense. You’re racist if you protest. You can home school etc but children are doomed to be subjected to this “whitey sucks” crap now and year after year it will worsen.

Upper class women do not accept mocking contempt very well.

They can dish it out just fine, but don’t take it very well.

The left world is one big dumpster fire. It just needs to burn.

It does seem since Trump is off the radar,the next target is the white woman as obviously the white man has been attacked for years.

So the left will ultimately keep murdering each other for the pedestal of grievance as the true elites toast it all.

However I’ll bet these parents are quick to tar and feather others.

Like “all southerners are racists.”

***

That’s what the parents of the Christian private academy aka my “high school” did many times the last 20 years. Even my brother and his alum went to a private meeting with the magistrate to have them fired, which they did because he was pissed they were teaching my nephews and nieces about faggot crap.

Until now, lefty critical race theory is kept out, and all teachers credentials have to be voted by at least half of the alumni meaning ANY leftard teachers are eliminated from hiring.

Two coats. Being a humane person, I recommend using room temperature driveway sealant instead of hot tar.

I thought I was the only one who thought that.

I don’t think that there is a school district involved here, as this is a private school. A very expensive private school.

“What percentage of white women do you hate? And there is a right answer,”

I thought CRT has labeled math racist.

ps

It is encouraging that white parents and others are firing back at the anti white bigotry that has been dumped on us. Trump showed them how.
