New York private school facing mass exodus of students as left wing teachers go insane with crazy demands.....

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Public “anti-racism” statements required from all employees

Not only are we stopping free speech, but now we are going to make other speech COMPULSORY!!!!

Wow!!!

So here's the thing: "We" have been told for GENERATIONS that an "integrated" school/classroom is "better." Is it better? How? Is that better-ness quantifiable? Measurable? Where's the proof? Are students who graduate from such a school (that has championed "diversity") better-equipped to enter the next phases of their lives? How, exactly, does that manifest itself.

Seriously, the NY school district has a myriad of programs for outstanding students that are FREEEEEEE to residents of New York City.

Are these people stupid or what? Wouldn't their kids be better off in a program that is purely merit-based (as the top schools are RIGHT NOW)? Would it not serve them better to school with kids who are from a broader spectrum of outstanding students? Some people who can't afford $55k in annual tuition?

Parenthetically, as stated in a prior comment, this is a private school. Teachers who decline to show should be summarily terminated for cause. Sorry. The "science" has spoken, and kids don't make anyone sick.

^ Advocates for Segregation.

There are many black folks arguing for segregation too.

They are both wrong.

Well...I wonder if the parents of these kids are left wingers themselves.....they only have themselves to blame for allowing this craziness.........

There is an easy solution.........fire any teacher who will not return to work......

As to the crazy "Woke" demands........pull your kids, start another school with normal human beings as teachers.......left wing democrats are insane.....and shouldn't be anywhere near children...

Parents of children attending a posh, $55,000-per-year school in New York City are reportedly pulling their kids from classes after teachers, who are refusing to return to work even as other public and private NYC schools are now back to in-person learning, issued a laundry list of woke demands that could cost millions.
------
Before they return to work, however, Dalton School teachers reportedly want a laundry list of demands met — a list of “woke” changes that one parent revealed on his personal blog, The Naked Dollar, last week.

“Possibly relenting under the pressure, Dalton has announced plans to reopen, but this has ignited another firestorm, this time from the faculty,” the parent wrote. “Apparently, reopening is racist.”

“The charge has been leveled by black faculty and staffers,” he continued. “They suggest, among other things, that faculty of color are more at risk from having to come to work. The reasoning is that they have, on average, more distant commutes and therefore expose themselves longer to risky public transportation.”

Around a hundred faculty members signed on to the list, which the Naked Dollar printed in part:

• The hiring of twelve (!) full time diversity officers
• An additional full time employee whose “entire role is to support Black students who come forward with complaints.”
• Hiring of multiple psychologists with “specialization on the psychological issues affecting ethnic minority populations.”
• Pay off student debt of incoming black faculty
• Re-route 50% of all donations to NYC public schools
• Elimination of AP courses if black students don’t score as high as white
• Required courses on “Black liberation”
• Reduced tuition for black students whose photographs appear in school promotional materials
• Public “anti-racism” statements required from all employees
• Mandatory “Community and Diversity Days” to be held “throughout the year”
• Required anti-bias training to be conducted every year for all staff and parent volunteers
• Mandatory minority representation in (otherwise elective) student leadership roles
• Mandatory diversity plot lines in school plays
• Overhaul of entire curriculum to reflect diversity narratives

The requirements could, no doubt, cost millions — a cost that will likely be passed on to parents through tuition hikes.

“The demands for additional staffers alone would add millions of dollars to Dalton’s annual budget,” The Naked Dollar notes. “Siphoning off 50% of donations would dry up funding. Eliminating AP classes (referred to as “leveled courses”) would destroy college admissions. It’s not an exaggeration to say these demands, if implemented, would destroy Dalton altogether. According to insiders, much damage has already been done.”

I understand why you white supremacists want to hide the truth about slavery and the racism of the past and today.

I hope they get everything they want, and the school shuts down completely.

Dalton school???

 

[whitehall]

Dalton is a prep school with a long history but I wonder how many students have made it to named colleges in the last couple of years. My guess is not many. You could get a bigger bang for your buck at a Catholic prep school.
