The father who pulled his daughter from Brearly School, the elite New York school which includes Tina Fey and Drew Barrymore among its parents, over its woke antiracism 'obsession' says it's 'teaching what to think not how to think' - as school slams him for being 'offensive.'Andrew Gutmann, 45, had announced in an April 13 letter posted by Bari Weiss this week that he has chosen not to reenroll his daughter in the all-girls school where tuition is $54,000 yearly. He has now spoken out further about why he wrote it.Gutmann, who runs his family's chemical business, told the New York Post on Saturday that he penned the 1,700-word letter

As the left's push for lowering the voting age continues with increased fervor, we see how the compliant tools in the education arena do their part. Decades ago, no administrator interacted with students as if they are equals and/or the students' opinions were of any particular import. It was all about making sure the core curriculum was rigorously taught and discipline maintained, all with a clear line between teachers and students. Now "feelings" and indoctrination are given overriding weight. FTA: Jane Fried, Brearley's head of school, sent a message to the school's families on Friday in which she slammed Gutmann's letter as 'deeply offensive and harmful.' 'This afternoon, I and others who work closely with Upper School students met with more than one hundred of them, many of whom told us that they felt frightened and intimidated by the letter and the fact that it was sent directly to our homes,' Fried wrote. 'Our students noted that as this letter, which denies the presence of systemic racism, crossed their doorways, the evidence of ongoing racism – systemic or otherwise – is daily present in our headlines.' But Gutmann claims that Brearley students should not be 'frightened' by receiving a letter at their homes. 'The upper schoolers are afraid of getting a letter at their home?' Gutmann said Saturday. 'They're frightened and intimidated? The school has said it's number one priority is to teach the girls intellectual bravery and courageousness. Either they are lying or else they have done an atrocious job.'

FTA: ''...most reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.'' This is exactly how I have viewed the actions of the political left (democrats) as they use the same tactics. How many graduates of Beardly, or any other liberal indoctrination center have even learned what the Chinese Cultural Revolution was, and what it did to it's own people? Very, very few I would wager. It might make some of them have an original thought!

I had a friend back in the late 60’s whose younger sister attended Brearley and it was leftwing way back then. But her parents were leftist tools so I’m sure they were fine with it.

Yes, wonderful letter and he really nailed it! For me, the most telling statement FTA was: "Our students noted that as this letter, which denies the presence of systemic racism, crossed their doorways, the evidence of ongoing racism – systemic or otherwise – is daily present in our headlines." The 'UNI-media' is singlehandedly indoctrinating our entire population, with its constantly warped headlines and incessant gaslighting!! I fear there is no longer any powerful enough antidote to save us...it is EVERYWHERE!

It is teaching children to hate with a fervid hatred which usually leads to violence. This is so incredibly dangerous to children and as they grow into adulthood, but it is dangerous to society as a whole, and to the survival of our country. This is indicative of the consequences of the Left's destruction of our "traditions, our history" which has above all meant the destruction of the Judeo-Christian tradition and system of morals and ethics and Law, even our very concepts and understanding of good and evil. This of course brings to mind all of the warnings from Nietzsche from the secular mind and of course from Scripture itself, the Word of God. The rational and true are purged from consciousness. Good is evil, evil is good. Orwellianisms. You are told you can keep mutually exclusive "truths" in your mind in the same context, at the same time. It's not like we haven't seen this before, in modern history, in fact. WHATEVER is expedient for the State, that is what has "moral" sanction. This is the core of totalitarianism regardless of the superficial exterior label: fascist, socialist, communist. The State is everything, and everything is for the State. And regardless of what all good Marxists say, the State will NEVER ever wither away. Do not let schools or any other entity teach your children to hate anyone.

President Joe Biden is currently exploring the idea of canceling federal student loan debt, awaiting memos on how much he can do legally.The Biden White House tasked Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to explore the issue, effectively stalling immediate action on the issue as activists increasingly push for him cancel the debt. White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Biden has not made a decision on the issue either way, as he is waiting for the policy memos.“Hopefully we’ll see that in the next few weeks, and then he’ll look at that legal authority; he’ll look at the policy issues around that and he’ll make a decision,”

Winter Haven, Florida — Defunding law enforcement is effectively “off the table” in Florida, Gov.

The law, DeSantis told Breitbart News, demonstrates a significant contrast between the way blue areas and red areas address these issues of unrest as Democrat-run cities experience yet another bout of riots in the streets.“The more blue an area is, the worse it’s governed.
