The Harpeth Hall School of Nashville, Tennessee, is an all-girls school that has existed since 1865, in its current form since 1951, but that’s about to change.
The school will now admit biological males who identify as female.
Tuition for the middle school is over $32,000 a year and over $33,000 for the high school.
FOX News reports:
Elite all-girls school in Nashville now admits anyone who identifies as femaleHarpeth Hall, an elite girls school in Nashville, Tennessee, has implemented a new policy to allow applications from anyone who identifies as female, not just those who are biologically female.In an email sent to parents, the school announced it would be following a new policy that allows biological males who identify as female to be admitted to the school, reported OutKick. The email included a “Gender Diversity Philosophy” document explaining the admissions policy.”Harpeth Hall is a girls school. The school culture is unique and distinctly about girls, complete with the use of references to students as girls and young women and the collective use of female pronouns,” the Gender Diversity Philosophy read.”Any student who identifies as a girl may apply to our school. Students who join and remain at Harpeth Hall do so because our mission as a school for girls resonates with them,” the document continues.The document also stated that any student who “communicates a desire to be identified as male or adopt he/him pronouns” may not be served well at Harpeth Hall.
Here’s more from the Outkick report by Ian Miller:
Harpeth Hall immediately falls into one of the most common traps among progressives: assuming that new concepts are unquestionably better than what they are replacing.The policy document states that this new decision is due to the interpretation that “the concept of gender has expanded and deepened over time.”It continues, “The school culture is unique and distinctly about girls, complete with the use of references to students as girls and young women and the collective use of female pronouns.”Yet the next sentence, remarkably, deconstructs that entire philosophy:“Any student who identifies as a girl may apply to our school.”Harpeth Hall’s own policy contradicts its argument. When saying that there is a “collective use of female pronouns,” administrators are associating biological sex with gender-related pronouns. It makes the connection between biology and gender.
The Harpeth Hall website boasts of a very successful athletic program:
