Bari - thank you for providing the space to voice concerns that often can't be brought up anywhere else. My 2 daughters attend a prestigious (southern) private school, and we have always felt that we were in a safe bubble immune to the madness and woke garbage described in these two brave letters.
Recently we were sent an email from the Head of School about a new hire for the position of "Director of Cultural Competency and Inclusion," a recently developed position, the former occupant of which had organized maybe a few events here and there but it was basically a position in name only.
The new hire appears to have a history of CRT advocacy and was responsible for overhauling much of the traditional curricula at other similar private prep schools in favor of much of the same nonsense seen at Grace Church and Brearley.
My sense is that the administration does not know or realize what is likely coming down the pipeline (or maybe I'm giving them too much credit and they are fully aware). Nonetheless my family says stay out of it until something happens and then when/if necessary, rally the parents/take action of some sort.
I'm curious whether proactive action of some sort should be taken or do we hope for the best and stay silent until the damage has already begun? Any thoughts are welcome. Thank you!
see what had happened in Dalton school in New York. Actions by parents forced principal to resign and 12 (!) new diversity officers hopefully will not be hired.

Yes...I'd prefer it not get to that point, but that was great to hear about!
