NYC parent rips $54G-a-year private Manhattan school over 'cancerous' anti-racism policies
Fox News ^ | Peter Aitken

A New York City private school has allegedly mandated that parents take "anti-racism" training as part of the admission process, leading one parent to withdraw his daughter and issue a scathing condemnation.

Andrew Gutmann, an investment banker, was shocked to see some changes to The Brearley School’s admission process.

Gutmann, who is White, said his daughter had attended the all-girls school in the Upper East Side since she was in kindergarten, but the new requirements so outraged him that he pulled her from the school.

The school now requires at least one parent/guardian to participate in "required anti-racist training and ongoing reflection," and the application form requires parents to "share how your family values align with the School’s commitment," according to documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.  

The Brearley School reportedly has tuition of around $54,000 a year.

Gutmann’s letter, which former Wall Street Journal and New York Times editor Bari Weiss posted on her blog, tears into the school for its "obsession with race."

"These sessions, in both their content and delivery, are so sophomoric and simplistic, so unsophisticated and inane, that I would be embarrassed if they were taught to Brearley kindergarteners," Gutmann wrote.

He labeled the policies as "misguided, divisive, counterproductive and cancerous."

Another expensive Elitist School that suspends education to promote indoctrination.

The Left now thinks they rule the world. They control Fed Gov by theft, they seek to destroy capitalism and the very structure of the USA and obliterate all history of our founding as a nation.

They respect nothing about this nations sacrifice for the good of mankind and the price our ancestors paid for our freedom.

In NYC these schools exist as a haven for white children to protect them from public school ferals; there would be no whites in the city at all if these schools weren’t there. With the discussion of eliminating the “elite” public high schools in NYC, these are the types of schools that would see some Asians arrive - while the rest of the Asians have to leave NYC (they couldn’t afford it).

You figured out the game, eh?

I deal with these types all the time. They live and work in the most segregated places in the U.S. The only black people the leaders of this school ever see on a regular basis are the custodial staff of the school and the guy who delivers packages for UPS or FedEx.

They engage in these stupid virtue-signaling campaigns against “systemic racism” because they have to pretend it’s someone else’s fault that black people can’t meet their standards.

Racism is the tool.

The real agenda is Hard Leftist. They like to hide the Totalitarian nature of the Left, even from the useful idiots.

This is brainwashing young minds. That is as bad as child abuse.
