Private Schools a battleground in Culture Wars

[Blimey]

Here's an article on the topic: How L.A.'s Brentwood School Became a Battleground in the Culture Wars

But my title is more generic because this school is not the only one. This past week a school in NYC has been on the news. A teacher named Rossi got sick of its race obsession and called it out. He was canned by the school, to nobody's surprise. What's interesting, though, is that after being canned he put out a letter saying that the principal had personally agreed with him, but was not publicly willing to do so.

The principal denied this, particularly some of the things that Rossi had quoted him as having said: NYC teacher booted from ‘woke’ classroom, says boss has ‘grave doubts’

The fun part is this teacher had an audio recording. The principal had in fact said what he said: Private School Head Admits ‘Anti-racist’ Curriculum Is ‘Demonizing White People for Being Born’ | National Review

So now the principal will be fired also, but unlike Rossi cannot say he fell on his sword, merely that he was beheaded.

It does take real guts now to do what Rossi said because teachers have no voice these days. They will be eviscerated overnight on twitter by the social injustice warriors.

Ain't just teachers. I see it infiltrating every profession. For example, if say one word that does against the antiracism dogma that I have to listen to at monthly staff meetings I'll get canned immediately.

Instantly.

I have the various company emails on these topics go immediately to the deleted folder based on keywords in the subject, but that's about all I can do.

A long long time ago, but totally in the same galaxy, I was going through grad school for teaching. This was years ago, over a decade at this point. Back then they were pushing this anti-white shit.

Specifically, I'm referencing a lesson this Karen was trying to teach us about how to talk to our white students about white guilt. I publicly and totally rejected the teacher's views in front of the whole class. None of those other pussies had the balls to do so publicly, but I specifically remember talking to another student in the grad program that agreed with me outside of the class.

I more or less told her why pushing this narrative was implicating the idea that the students had some responsibility -- which they don't, because half of them had no family in the US during slavery, and no student has ever owned slaves.

In the end, I quit the program. Best choice I ever made.

Sad in a way. If there were more educators with your ideology we wouldn't nearly be in the mess that we're currently in. I don't blame you though. I would've done the same.

My brother works in education. He doesn't say a damn word on topics like this, even though he's in a union. he actually won't even email to discuss it--at all, other than to say he cannot say anything. It's like he's working on the manhattan project and has to be mum.

I don't work in education, and I still don't say anything. Occasionally I'll drop a few sarcastic hints at how insane this all is, but that's the extent of anything I do publicly at the moment.

At least until people start wising up and we all start working together to counter this bullshit.
