 Barry Weiss a few days ago Over the last few days has published two I think important letters that go to the heart of this The first is by a teacher and The title of the title of this is I refuse to stand by while my students are indoctrinated Children are afraid to challenge the repressive ideology that rules our schools. That's why I am Now you'll notice sadly That even though these individuals speak up Identify clear evils in the approach of those trying to indoctrinate our children They don't really have an answer They don't provide an alternative an alternative lens and a ton of view of the world an alternative way to integrate What we see around us and that's why I fear I fear that in spite of the fact that there's now opposition I don't know how long it can last Because it provides an alternative and of course that only opens it up for if we go back to the dem hypothesis for the alternative to be some Misintegration on a large scale and M2 that will lead us directly into authoritarianism Just so we can avoid the complete fragmentation of our society caused by this nonsense being taught in our schools So this is a letter from a teacher at Grace Church High School in Manhattan Grace Church. It's a religious school Dominated but but very very leftist he writes my school is asking me to embrace anti-racism anti-racism training and pedagogy that I believe is deeply harmful to them To the students and to any person who seeks to nurture the virtues of curiosity empathy and understanding What is this anti-racism training require it requires teachers like myself you writes To treat students differently on the basis of race. It requires them to be racists Because that's what racism means treating people differently based on their race Furthermore in order to maintain a united front for our students Teachers at Grace are directed to confine our doubts About this pedagogical framework to conversations with an in-house Listen to this office of community engagement as you read this If you know a little bit of history Think about how different or the same this is with Mao's Cultural revolution the teacher writes my school like many others induces students by shame and Suffolk Street To identify primarily with a race before their individual identities are fully formed Students are pressured to conform their opinions to those broadly associated with a race and gender and to minimize or dismiss Individual experiences that don't match those assumptions The morally compromised status of oppressor is assigned to one group of students based on the immutable color of their skin characteristics in the meantime dependency resentment and moral superiority are cultivated in students considered oppressed From each according to his ability to each according to his needs the oppressor the oppressed all this of course is done in the name of equity the new catchphrase for the left So this teacher recently raised questions about this ideology in a mandatory whites only Students and faculty zoom can you imagine having a whites only meeting? Like whites only bathrooms whites only beaches disgusting It's just so mindlessly primitive and barbaric. It doesn't it doesn't I Mean what strikes me it makes me so angry is it doesn't really justify comment Why do we need to be commenting on this? Why do we need to be discussing this? racism since the 1960s has been identified as evil and These people are embracing it wholeheartedly With a moral superiority that is just Disgusting now it turned out that this meeting by zoom for white only Was a beta switch self-care seminar labeled? that labeled Objectivity individualism fear of open conflict and even a right to comfort as characteristics of white supremacy individualism is Characteristic of white supremacy and you know we can go on and on anyway the teacher After he confronted this and challenged some of these assumptions Was informed by the head of high school that his philosophy philosophical challenges has caused harm to students harm Given that these topics were life and death matters about people's flesh and blood and bone He was reprimanded for acting like an independent agent God forbid Of a set of principles ideas of belief He was told that by doing so He failed to serve quote the greater good in the higher truth He created dissonance for vulnerable and uninformed thinkers and neurological disturbance in students It was borderline what he did constituted harassment why because he challenged the authorities he challenged the perspective of the new little intellectual dictators a public reprimand this is so Chinese cultural revolution a Public reprimand was then read aloud in all the classes about this teacher's conduct He then had you know Anyway By writing this article by pointing all this out right pointing all this out He committed a sin. He challenged the authorities He's been told to work at home now Can't come into the school Because he poses a threat To his students or people opposed the threats against him. So he is a security threat They won't fire him they say But they've asked him to teach him home using zoom Last year at grace this religious school the students asked for some diversity of points of view and The teacher thought of bringing in Glenn Lowry a brown university professor in public intellectual. You might know him. He's very good Who is black? Bad who is I'd say center-right or kind of a nuance thinker he thinks wow what a concept the head of school banded Quote this is the quote the head of my school people like Lowry's lived experience and Therefore he has derived social philosophy notice that the only way you can have an idea is because he lived it He can't actually develop an idea Made him an exception to the rule that black thinkers acknowledge structural racism as the paramount impediment in society in other words Lowry didn't come to the conclusion that structural racism doesn't exist His shared experiences his lived experience shaped him to have that view no free will no self-determination The headmaster the head of school added the moment We are in institutionally and the moment we are in institutionally and culturally does not lend itself to dispassionate discussion and debate and Having Lowry's ideas would only confuse or inflame students both those in the class and others that chew about an outside class He preferred to assign Mainstream white conservative then having a black conservative because that's too confusing black and conservative. It's like Black and object. I mean you can't do that an objective is you can't that's not allowed notice how they want Everything to be about race. They want everything to be about skin color They want you to feel guilty for being white They want you deep and they want you to go deep in feeling a Victim because you're not white. I mean these kids are being trade trained to be racist under the guise of a fantastic Superior private education finally yesterday. I think it was a Parent spoke up and this is an excellent excellent excellent Essay that I encourage you all to read Barry wise published it. It is called a New York father pulls his daughter out of really really with a message to the whole school It is Barry wise published it sits on her substack Barry wise that substack calm It's excellent. If parents did this this problem would be gone I'm gonna read you I'm gonna read some of this letter to you And he's writing this to the parents. This is a parent of a student Dear fellow really parents Our family recent made the decision to not decision not to re-enroll our daughter at really for the 2021-22 school year She's been at really for seven years beginning in kindergarten in short We no longer believe that really administration of border trustees have any of our children's best interests at heart Moreover, we no longer have confidence that our daughter will receive the quality of education Necessary to further her development into critically thinking responsible enlightened and civic-minded adult I write to you as a fellow parent to share our reasons for leaving the brewery community It cannot be stated strongly enough that really's obsession with race must stop Really is a 40,000 sorry $54,000 a year or girl school 54,000 dollars It should be abundantly clear to any thinking parent the really has completely lost its way The administration of border trustees have displayed a cowardly and appalling lack of leadership by appeasing an anti-intellectual Illiberal mob and then allowing the school to be captured by that same mob What follows are my own personal views and really anti-racism initiatives But these are just a handful of criticisms that I know other parents have expressed This is really well-written really hard-hitting really Spot on I Object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin This is what people need to say. This is how people need to rise up I cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs By viewing every element of education every aspect of history and if he facet of society through the lens of skin color and race We are desecrating the legacy of dr. Martin Luther King and Utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believe fought and died I Object to the charge of systemic racism in this country and at our school systemic racism properly understood is Segregated schools and separate lunch counters. It is the interning of Japanese and the exterminating of Jews systemic racism is unequivocally not a small number of isolated incidents over a period of decades Ask any girl of any race if they've ever experienced insults from friends Of course they have ever felt slided by teachers or have ever suffered the occasional injustice from school at which They have spent up to 13 years of their life and you are bound to hear grievances some petty some not We have not had systemic racism against blacks in this country since the civil rights reforms of the 1960s a period of more than 50 years The state otherwise is a flat-out misrepresentation of our country's history and adds no understanding To any of today's societal issues if anything Long-standing and widespread policies such as affirmative action point in precisely the opposite direction This is good stuff. I Object to a definition of systemic racism Apparently supported by really that any educational professional or societal outcome where blacks are underrepresented is prima facie Evidence of the aforementioned systemic racism of white supremacy and oppression good for him Fassile and unsupported beliefs such as these are the polar opposite to the intellectual and scientific truth for which really claims to stand furthermore I call bullshit on Brailey's oft stated assertion that the school welcomes and encourages the truly difficult and uncomfortable conversations regarding race and the roots of racial disparities I Object to the idea that blacks aren't able to succeed in this country without aid from government or from whites Really by adopting critical race theory is advocating their abhorrent view point that blacks should forever be regarded as helpless victims and Are incapable of success regardless of their skills talents or hard work What really is teaching our children is precisely the true and correct definition of racism In other words really is teaching racism Scott says why isn't objectivism coming out with such strong language? What have I been doing for the last year? God I Let's say Let me just I'm just looking through the letter I don't want to read the whole letter to you should you should actually get it yourself We have today in our country from both political parties and all levels of government the most unwise and Unvirtuous leaders in our nation's history. Amen Schools like really are supposed to be training grounds for those leaders a Nation will not survive a generation of leadership even more poorly educated than we have now No, we survive a generation of students taught to hate its own country and despise its history Lastly object with the strong. Well, I Objected the school is now fostering an environment where our daughters and our daughters teachers are afraid to speak their mind in class For fear of quote consequences Objective really is trying to up use up the role of parents and teaching morality and bullying parents to adopt that false morality at home Objective really is fostering a divisive community where families of different races, which until recently were part of the same community Are now segregated into two These are the reasons why we can no longer send our daughter to really Over the past couple of months several months I personally spoke into many braily parents as well as parents of children appear institutions It is abundantly clear that the majority of parents believe that really is anti-racist policies are misguided divisive counterproductive and cancerous Many believers I do that these policies will ultimately destroy what was until recently a wonderful educational institution But as I am sure will come as no surprise to you given the insidious Cancer culture that as of late permeated our society most parents are too fearful to speak up But speak up you must There is strength in numbers and I assure you the numbers are there Contact the administration of Board of Trustees and demand an end to the destructive an Anti-intellectual claptrap known as anti-racism and if changes are not forthcoming then demand you leadership For the sake of our community our city our country and most of all our children Silence is no longer an option Now this is an amazingly well-written letter. It's written by Andrew Gutman. I recommend it unfortunately He attacks and attacks and attacks it would be nice again to have a positive Something about individualism treating people as individuals, but that I guess is too much to ask but this is amazing His name is Andrew Gutman g u t m a n n Let me see I'm gonna post a link in the chat to the letter I will also add it to the description Underneath I Generally strongly highly recommend that Strongly highly recommend that you subscribe to Barry Weiss's sub stack Which you can Google Barry Weiss up stack, but here's the link.
