Elite NYC private schools make parents sign 'anti-racist' commitment, attend 'anti-racist training'

Pastor and activist John Amanchukwu criticized the Wake County School Board for pushing diversity initiatives while academic scores suffer. Several private schools in New York City are not only requiring students to learn about "anti-racism," but are now requiring parents to do the same. The New York Post reviewed documents from five private schools in New York City and found that several are instituting "optional" and required "anti-racism" and "diversity, equity and inclusion" trainings for parents, not just students. At The Brearley School, an all-girls prep school, "parents are expected to attend two diversity, equity, inclusion and antiracism (DEIA) workshops per school year," according to an application for admission. Additionally, perspective parents are required to write a 500-word essay which explains their commitment to the issues of "diversity, equity, inclusion and antiracism."
