Teachers at posh NYC school release 8-page anti-racism manifesto, sparks uproar: report
The wide-ranging faculty demands include:
-
Hiring 12 full-time diversity officers, and multiple psychologists to support students "coping with race-based traumatic stress."
-
Assigning a staffer dedicated to black students who have "complaints or face disciplinary action," and a full-time advocate to help black kids "navigate a predominantly white institution."
-
Paying the student debt of black staffers upon hiring them.
-
Requiring courses that focus on "Black liberation" and "challenges to white supremacy."
-
Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material.
-
Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks.
-
Requiring "anti-racism" statements from all staffers.
-
Overhauling the entire curriculum, reading lists and student plays to reflect diversity and social justice themes.
-
Divesting from companies that "criminalize or dehumanize" black people, including private prisons and tech firms that manufacture police equipment or weapons.
-
Donating 50 percent of all fundraising dollars to NYC public schools if Dalton is not representative of the city in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and immigration status by 2025.

In a sane world they would all be fired and replacements would be lined up and waiting to go. In the real world they will get their way and hurt a whole bunch of black students.

Actually it’s not clear how this plays out. Most of the parents paying the 54k a year for their kid to attend have other options.
One of the demands literally wants the school to have the same racial, ethnic, and economic distribution that the city has.
It’s crazy.
The administration is in a tough spot. I’m curious who’s on their board.
You were warned.

Most of the parents paying $54K a year for tuition are likely in careers and public positions that would make them ideal targets of the SJW crowd. Some will be true believers that will enthusiastically support this, and others will have their livelihoods and privacy held hostage if they don’t as well. My bet is they go with the glow then quietly pull their kids out.
Frankly, I wouldn’t want my kids going to a school that they would be taught by these numbskulls anyway, and it’s not a good sign that they were hired in the first place.

The Dalton School is selling admissions to Ivy League schools. I don’t see how this will hurt.

From the Daily Mail:
‘Parents who don't buy in - and there are many - learn to keep their mouths shut. Nod and smile. Because Yale,' wrote Johnston.
