Anger after elite $57,000-a-year Brooklyn private school Poly Prep asks students as young as 10 if all racial groups are as smart as each other, their sexual orientation and their parents' political beliefs

An elite Brooklyn private school was forced to shelve an invasive questionnaire that surveyed students as young as 10 about their sexual orientation and their parents' political beliefs.

Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn, which charges parents more than $57,000 per year, disguised the questionnaire under the name 'DEIB climate survey.' 'DEIB' stands for: 'diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.'

Statements included: 'Most people think that people from my racial/ethnic group are as smart as people of other racial/ethnic groups,' 'Women have fewer chances to get ahead,' and 'Teachers teach about racial inequality in the United States.'

Students were required to answer on a scale going from 'really agree' to 'really disagree.'

The questions went on to become even more intimate in nature, asking about students' gender and sexual orientation.

Other questions centered around parents' income, political opinions and personal beliefs. It was administered to children in grades 5 through 12.

The questionnaire was made public by the Virginia-based advocacy group Parents Defending Education. The group describes itself as 'a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists imposing harmful agendas.'

According to the group, the answers were not anonymous and students were required to include their email address in their completed survey.

In one section, students were asked if their parents had made a donation to the school, and how much they had given.

The school was forced to shelve the questionnaire in May after furious backlash from parents.

An email to parents, leaked by Parents Defending Education, from the school's principal Audrius Barzdukas read: 'After reviewing our process, we learned of multiple issues with the survey including ones that made the data unreliable.'

“disguised the questionnaire under the name ‘DEIB climate survey.’ ‘DEIB’ stands for: ‘diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.’”

I wouldn’t call that exactly, “disguised”. Pretty much in-your-face.

I went to sleep last night in Georgia, and woke up in East Germany.

All that money down the drain for commie drone trainig.

I can make your 3rd grader as smart at a 6th grader for 1/10th of the cost, and they can keep their sanity & personality as an added bonus.

“Elite means woke.these days”

More like, “If you are insufficiently woke, we will ensure your kids never are accepted into the Elites”.

That’s the real purpose of this survey, to see who is woke, and who is not, so that their futures can be decided upon.

So, little Fauntleroy won't get into Harvard? Fine, let him go to trucking school. They're better people anyway.

The Elites live in a self-made world distant from We the Proles.

It is the nature of the Have-Yachts to bifurcate from the Have-Nots.

Problem is, that leads to inbreeding of both body and mind of the Elites and their inevitable downfall.

One way repressive governments control the population is to force citizens to SAY things that are clearly untrue. Soon, they will actually BELIEVE the things that are clearly untrue.

Anyone who simply watches professional sports can obviously see that some racial groups are better at some sports than other racial groups. If this is obviously true of sports, it certainly can be true of other attributes, including intelligence. Forcing children to deny this is a first step toward tyranny.

Given the successful teachings in public schools today (CRT, gender alteration, Catastrophic Global Warming, etc.) it’s obviously working as intended.

Following any one of these egregious events, there is a necessity to extract a meaningful punishment against that institution to dissuade these monsters from repeating the behavior. Either a financial punishment or a scalp, in the form of the offender being terminated from the job. Without punishment, these monsters will repeat the behavior and it will only get worse.

Q: Are all racial groups as smart as each other?

A: I don’t know; how ‘bout we pull out the data from the last 75 years?

“ The questionnaire was compiled by the school’s director of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Dr. Omari Keeles”

Anytime. I see an organization with a “director of diversity” I know it will be a deeply anti Semitic place, followed with equal hatred of heterosexuals, particularly male, and all European whites.

Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study

In the 1960’s a group of adopted children were studied as they grew. All were adopted into white affluent families as babies, average parental IQ 120.

At 17, IQ tests were administered.

After growing up in white families, going to middle class schools, etc., and getting every possible environmental advantage, the black kids averaged IQ 89. White adopted kids, IQ 106.

I have not seen any further studies of this type.

According this article, https://defendinged.org/incidents/poly-prep-country-day-school-administers-62-page-deib-climate-survey-which-garners-parent-outrage-and-a-retraction/, it wasn’t just an “invasive questionnaire”, it as a tedious 62-page torture.

Knowing students, the woke among them carefully, righteously and emphatically answered to the dogma, while the rest just ended up checking random boxes (which would be a “data error”)

'DEIB' stands for: 'diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.'

I presume that parents send their kids their at $57,000 per year because they think their kids are super smart technically. Not to make fun of anyone, but this means they are nerds trying to become supernerds. Meaning they are individuals who think for themselves, likely huge pains like all really smart nerds are, and theirfore a-social anti-social. Belonging is not part of the ethic.

I thought we banned and burned that book and pilloried anyone who mentions it or admits to having read it.

Just to be clear America's real competitive advantage in the world has come from our tolerance for individualism and allowing nonconformists to nonconform and do great things for the country.

The CCP cannot do this, so to cactch up they have to bring us down. DEIB appears to be such a step.

This is not racist. They don't tolerate Clarence Thomas either.

“allowing nonconformists to nonconform and do great things for the country.”

This is about power for the elites all over the world.

They want to keep the masses in their place as obedient slaves.
