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.'

The Demonicrats and other leftists tried, but failed - a demonstraion of their cognitive ability.

Indeed wonder if the DEIB climate survey required DNA samples be taken.

Why are grown men and women interested in a child’s sexual situation? I think they are a bunch of pedophiles that run these places. Their home computers need to be checked for kiddie porn.

This is a red flag to the parents to check the restroom facilities at the school to make sure that the girls room is not now the boys and girls room.

I'm guessing the 'teachers' and 'administrators' at this 'elite' school would NOT have the money to spend $57,000 a year to send their kids to a private school.

Teachers are using their useless degrees from WOKE colleges to push an agenda on upper class families and their children. Glad to see the parents fighting back. These families need to get together and hire their own teachers and bypass the crap coming out of Education Departments from these trash colleges.

You’d have to be PSTUPID to pay 57,000 a year for this CRAP.
