I admire this kind of bravery. The fact that, by widely disseminating this letter, he has jeopardized his friendships, his reputation in his community, and maybe even his job, shows precisely what is wrong with the rabid intolerance that has taken over modern progressivism. Good for him, and may many at his kid's school stand with him.

For $54,000/year, Mr. Guttman could hire private educational staff.

Of course he can; but I have a suspicion he's not into home schooling. I wonder will he send his child to public? I mean, all the privates, even in Brooklyn, are following the same path.

Also... thatтАЩs very sweet of you to think of the child. IтАЩm told sheтАЩs a really nice girl.

Honest....

Are you in Brooklyn? ( youтАЩll understand why I ask). Funny, people assume that family paid a full tuition to Brearly. ( not you ). Families in NYC often get financial aid to attend these schools. The only other choice is the horrendous public schools here. The other Brearly parent who texted me, said , quote

тАЬ This will follow themтАЭ.

Really sad.

It. Is. So.

Divisive!

ItтАЩs terrible.

The tutor/governess thing could catch on. It worked for the aristocracy in Jane Austen's day.

I'm kind of joshing. Mr. Guttman and others in his socio-economic cohort are at a decision point. They want a high-end, Enlightenment education for their children, but they are not going to get it at schools focused on CRT, no matter how much money they spend.
