In December, Professor Jacobson wrote about the exclusive Dalton School in New York, which has aggressively embraced the ideology of Critical Race Theory.
The post featured a report from the Naked Dollar blog about the faculty at Dalton releasing an eight-page list of race-based demands.
Now a group of parents of Dalton students has written a letter which reveals that the situation at Dalton is actually worse than previously known.
Former FOX News host Megyn Kelly shared the letter on Twitter:
I added my own comment:
Michael Lee of the Washington Examiner has written about this:
Megyn Kelly encourages parents to ‘fight back’ against NYC school’s ‘anti-racism’ curriculumJournalist Megyn Kelly encouraged parents who have students at New York City’s Dalton School in their fight against the school’s shift toward an “anti-racism” curriculum.“Parents at Dalton Sch. fight back against ‘anti-racist’ agenda: ‘Every class has had an obsessive focus on race & identity, ‘racist cop’ reenactments in science, ‘de- centering whiteness’ in art, learning about white supremacy in health…Many of us do not feel welcome any more,’” Kelly posted on Twitter.Kelly attached a copy of an open letter addressed to the “Dalton Community” from a group of concerned parents and alumni, which highlights the way the group feels the school has abandoned its mission to educate students.“Love of learning is now being abandoned in favor of ‘anti-racist curriculum,’” the group wrote in the letter, adding that “every single class,” from “science to social studies to physical education,” has been “rewritten to embody ‘anti-racism.’”The letter argues that the school’s new curriculum is “extremely exclusionary,” while pointing out that many members of the community do not “identify as part of an oversimplified racial dichotomy in a beautiful and diverse world.”“Every class this year has had an obsessive focus on race and identity,” the letter reads. “‘Racist cop’ reenactments in science, ‘de-centering whiteness’ in art class, learning about white supremacy and sexuality in health class.
Megyn Kelly has become a prominent voice in the fight against the left-wing politicization of education and even pulled her own children out of private schools in New York City over this very issue.
