America’s elite schools are either toxic nests of racism, or insufferably woke indoctrination camps. As the saying goes, Why not both?
The last few weeks have seen the first wave of real pushback against radically dumb wokification at formerly prestigious private schools—and this time it’s coming from inside the school. Much has been written recently about the war taking place on America’s premiere private school campuses. A teacher at Grace School in New York wrote a brutal takedown of the woke regime. A parent at Brearley went viral with a scathing letter to his daughter’s school. Bari Weiss covered some of these recent skirmishes in her excellent City Journal piece. Los Angeles Magazine slapped the Brentwood School wokelash on its April cover.
The latest field of battle for woke critical race theorists and their civilian opponents is Instagram. Instead of waiting for journalists to expose the controlled detonation of their schools, brave prisoners trapped inside the schoo-lags are fighting back as citizen journalists. No one at the top will risk their bloated salaries by pushing against the madness, so that job has been left to an underground group of students, parents, and staff. It’s not political with them; I doubt many of them are conservatives. But some of them dimly remember how things used to be long ago, like back in 2019, and they have not yet gouged out their own eyes and performed lobotomies on their own brains.

Just in case those are not aware, Harvard-Westlake is a private high school. Not Harvard University. But I wouldn’t doubt CRT came from some ivy tower.
School-lags. Lol.
Parents should demand that video cameras be installed in every classroom, so that any parent, at any time, can observe and record what is being taught in the classrooms. Every class should also be recorded and stored for at least one week on a main server, so that parents can see the classes at a later time. That would put “the fear of parents” (and loss of school donations) into every teacher and administrator.
