Kvoethe Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 https://nypost.com/2020/12/19/faculty-at-nycs-dalton-school-issues-8-page-anti-racism-manifesto/ One of NYC’s poshest private schools is in an uproar over an anti-racist manifesto signed by dozens of faculty members with a sweeping list of demands. The Dalton School — which boasts stars Anderson Cooper, Christian Slater and Claire Danes as alumni — is wrestling with eight pages of “proposals” to overhaul the staffing, curriculum and treatment of black students. The proposals — first reported this week by The Naked Dollar blog — grew out of the George Floyd police-brutality protests and long-simmering student complaints of racism at the prestigious school. But some parents say the backlash has become oppressive. “My ancestors experienced white supremacy by being slaughtered,” a Jewish parent told The Post. “The idea that being white automatically means you are privileged or a white supremacist is ridiculous. My child comes from people who had to fight for everything they got. “It’s just about skin color now.” Those who disagree remain silent, the insider said. “Parents are terrified to speak up for fear of retribution. Parents are acting like spineless wimps.” One Dalton father, who said he’s removed his children from the school as a result of the manifesto, said Dalton “has totally failed in its mission to uplift the very people it professes to help. “It’s completely absurd and a total step backwards,” the father, who did not want to be identified, told the Post. “This supposed anti-racist agenda is asking everyone to look at black kids and treat them differently because of the color of their skin,” he said. “The school is more focused on virtue-signaling this nonsense than it is in actually helping students of color. More parents are going to be pulling their kids out.” The wide-ranging faculty demands include: Hiring 12 full-time diversity officers, and multiple psychologists to support students “coping with race-based traumatic stress.” Assigning a staffer dedicated to black students who have “complaints or face disciplinary action,” and a full-time advocate to help black kids “navigate a predominantly white institution.” Paying the student debt of black staffers upon hiring them. Requiring courses that focus on “Black liberation” and “challenges to white supremacy.” Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material. Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks. Requiring “anti-racism” statements from all staffers. Overhauling the entire curriculum, reading lists and student plays to reflect diversity and social justice themes. Divesting from companies that “criminalize or dehumanize” black people, including private prisons and tech firms that manufacture police equipment or weapons.
