Wow. The Brearley School father's letter

Published on substack by Bari Weiss (ex NY Times reporter - pretty liberal - whose own letter of resignation from the NY Times is a pip). I've posted the whole Brearley School letter below the video.

And here's the full letter - link below. The writer is getting a lot of support - and of course criticism.

Bari Weiss

It was written by a Brearley parent named Andrew Gutmann.

If you don’t know about Brearley, it’s a private all-girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It costs $54,000 a year and prospective families apparently have to take an “anti-racism pledge” to be considered for admission. (In the course of my reporting for this piece I spoke to a few Brearley parents.)

Great post! This critical race theory and anti-racism curricula or training is garbage. If schools want fights on their hands they will be getting many by pushing this crap,

Here's more....astonishing really....

GONE VIRAL, PARENTS OF STUDENTS ASKED TO INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE FAMILY MEMBER IN ANTIRACISM "TRAINING", SIGN PLEDGE, ETC. Dad who wrote scathing letter to Brearley about race focus: ‘Someone had to’....A father fed up with an elite Manhattan prep school’s heavy-handed focus on race won’t re-enroll his daughter in the fall, accusing the school of trying to “brainwash” kids with woke philosophies rather than teaching them how to think on their own. In a scathing 1,700-word letter Andrew Gutmann mailed to 650 families — a screed since gone viral — he blasted the posh, all-girls Brearley School’s “cowardly and appalling lack of leadership [for] appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob.”
