Beth Pensky, a 54-year-old single mother from New Jersey who now lives in Florida, never tells anyone that she’s estranged from her only son and daughter.
“I lie all the time,” said Pensky, who told The Post her kids have rejected her because they’re “woke” and she is not. “I can’t tell anyone I don’t have a relationship with them. I had so much shame about it. It looks awful for me and makes me feel terrible so I lie.”
But her attitude changed when she — and a number of other mothers — read a Post story in November about Annabella Rockwell, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College who claimed she’d been “totally indoctrinated” into hard-left ideologies at the school and had to be deprogrammed.
“I saw Annabella’s story and my life turned upside down,” Pensky said. “I realized I wasn’t alone and I saw what happened to her was similar to what I think happened to my kids. I never even considered trying to find a deprogrammer. I didn’t know they existed. But I think it’s too late for me and my kids. They won’t even talk to me.”
A Manhattan mother of five daughters told The Post she saw their indoctrination into gender and race ideologies start at Dalton, one of New York City’s poshest private academies — and worsen when her girls went to colleges. Most of them went to Ivy League schools.

Maybe if the parents did their job, the kids wouldn’t have been brainwashed in the first place.

Oh get screwed.
It is not just the schools it is the culture.the screens. The media.
Meh. I did it every evening over supper and homework for SIX years with my boys. (Jr & Sr. High years) I had no say in where they went to school as I was the Evil Stepmother. ;)
They’re functional, taxpaying members of Society. ;)
Please keep it civil.
Good job, Cheesehead Mom! :)
Yep, When they were spouting how Bill Clinton was the GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER in Junior High, I had to up my game, LOL!
We posted the same article at about the same time. Obviously you are stalking me. LOL!
Anyway, sorry about that. I can ask the admin to delete my thread. I promise I searched and didn’t see your article so I really believe we hit “post” within a few seconds of each other.
You don’t believe it’s a parent’s role to teach their kids critical thinking skills - to be able to discern what they hear in school or via the media?
Are you relying on the government or church to do that for you? Sounds like a parents role to me.
Leave both threads up -— my opinion
SMDH...
It’s past the point of blaming parents. The Left has turned every facet of our society into a propaganda tool. Young people are bombarded constantly. Even the best families are losing their children to the Left agenda.
“A Manhattan mother of five daughters told The Post she saw their indoctrination into gender and race ideologies start at Dalton, one of New York City’s poshest private academies — and worsen when her girls went to colleges. Most of them went to Ivy League schools”
My guess is that the parent always votes Democrat and wanted to get her daughters into Ivy League colleges, so they could help instill ‘Democrat Values’ in the US.
Well, she did, and the first ‘values’ of there’s was to teach mom EXACTLY what ‘Democrat Values’ are, in today’s United States.
I have a feeling the Penskys are still funding their childrens’ lifestyle, even though the kids have gone “woke.”
My kids do go to public schools, but it’s one of the better public schools in our state thanks to the high Asian population. I actively monitor what they’re being exposed to and quickly explain if they’re being fed leftist narratives.
Surprisingly there is very little blatant woke agenda, but I’m thinking that might change in high school. I think much of the credit can be attributed to the first generation Asian immigrants in my district who are not into the woke agenda and actually expect their kids to be educated.
I’m prepared to pull them out if necessary.
And maybe you’re a clueless moron.
DeSantis might be able to do something.
