You Have to Read This Letter - A guy pulls his daughter from wealthy private school with a letter. Parents are fed up with CRT.
April 13, 2021

Dear Fellow Brearley Parents,

Our family recently made the decision not to reenroll our daughter at Brearley for the 2021-22 school year. She has been at Brearley for seven years, beginning in kindergarten. In short, we no longer believe that Brearley’s administration and Board of 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 a critically thinking, responsible, enlightened, and civic minded adult. I write to you, as a fellow parent, to share our reasons for leaving the Brearley community but also to urge you to act before the damage to the school, to its community, and to your own child's education is irreparable.

It cannot be stated strongly enough that Brearley’s obsession with race must stop. It should be abundantly clear to any thinking parent that Brearley has completely lost its way. The administration and the Board of 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 on Brearley's antiracism initiatives, but these are just a handful of the criticisms that I know other parents have expressed.

I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. 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 every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, 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 J**s. Systemic racism is unequivocally not a small number of isolated incidences over a period of decades. Ask any girl, of any race, if they have ever experienced insults from friends, have ever felt slighted by teachers or have ever suffered the occasional injustice from a 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. To 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, longstanding and widespread policies such as affirmative action, point in precisely the opposite direction.

I object to a definition of systemic racism, apparently supported by Brearley, that any educational, professional, or societal outcome where Blacks are underrepresented is prima facie evidence of the aforementioned systemic racism, or of white supremacy and oppression. Facile and unsupported beliefs such as these are the polar opposite to the intellectual and scientific truth for which Brearley claims to stand. Furthermore, I call bullshit on Brearley's oft-stated assertion that the school welcomes and encourages the truly difficult and uncomfortable conversations regarding race and the roots of racial discrepancies.

Spot on.

Equality of outcome is Commie thinking.

The constant focus on race in America was also a prime objective of the Commie subversives. Khruschev and Yuri Bezmenov said as much.

The race issue is constantly viewed (intentionally) from the Commie lens, of the OPPRESSOR (white people = racists) and the OPPRESSED (black people, POCs = not racists).

None of this has happened by accident. It was very slowly, and very carefully laid out and unleashed on the populace.

It happened in South Africa years before any where else, so if you were paying attention to what happened there, 20-30 years ago, you had a big headstart. The idea that ALL white South Africans were OBVIOUSLY racist (even children) has now become the idea that ALL white people, period, are obviously racist. Even infants!

We need a lot more parents like this one. If people would only stand up to and against this BS it would stop. I have to believe there are WAY MORE against this “agenda” than are for it. If I had kids in school I would be at every PTA meeting raising hell, not only about this but all the other BS they force on kids.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80187691



Or if it's not about race than it's an obsession with the so-called proletariat.

Or if it's not an obsession with the under-privileged than it's an obsession with homosexuality. Or if it's not an obsession with that than it's an obsession with climate change (formerly global warming).

Or it's an obsession with Covid-19 and mRNA vaccinations. And wearing porous face masks out in the park or store.

Etc, etc, etc.

All influenced by the dark side of human nature, by the liberal-leftwing side.

"Anti-racist" does not mean what it appears on the surface, as Leftists arbitrarily fabricate new constructs and definitions of words.

If a Leftist asks you "are you anti-racist" your answer would be "sure, I'm against racism."

This is not what the Left means when they speak of "anti-racism."

They view the whole of Western Civilization as racist: Its economic system, education system, justice system, etc. The very idea itself of "good" and "bad", of "criminal" and "lawful," of "citizen" and "noncitizen" are born out of racism, according to the Left.

If you do not accept their definition of Racism ("Systemic") and are not fighting what they are fighting, then YOU ARE A RACIST who is perpetuating racism.

Know how to fight back against this. The Left is convinced of their own purity and righteousness. Use their Marxist Alinsky tactics upon them...make them live according to their own book of rules.

2. The oppressed can do no wrong and are never guilty; the oppressors can do no right and are always guilty.

If one is wealthy enough to educate a child via public school, the better choice would be to home school the child hiring a well-paid expert to tutor in areas where the parent is deficient.

Then for socializing, cherry-pick activities/sports so the child can develop in those ways.

Private and public schools suck. Take it from me, I taught for years and I finally fled because my conscience could not take it anymore.

an earlier posting here mentions South Africa. The much-maligned Apartheid regime spent - in U.S. dollar terms - more than $100 million building hospitals/medical centers exclusively for black residents. There are many more things to be said, inclduing that when Thabo Mbeki became Presieent, he wasted billions of dollars on foreign military contracts, nearly always selecting the HIGHEST bids, then throwing in millions of dollars on top! The Germans weapons manufacturers were some of the primary beneficiaries here. I can provide some informed speculation as to what Mbeki received - beyond weaponry - for his largesse. A thorough commentary on SA would take considerably more space here, of course.
