Our family recently made the decision not to reenroll our daughter at Brearley for the 2021-22 school year.
...
It cannot be stated strongly enough that Brearley’s obsession with race must stop. It should be abundantly clear to any thinking parent that Brearley has completely lost its way. The administration and the Board of Trustees have displayed a cowardly and appalling lack of leadership by appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob, and then allowing the school to be captured by that same mob.
...
I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin.
...
I object to the charge of systemic racism in this country, and at our school.
...
I object to a definition of systemic racism, apparently supported by Brearley, that any educational, professional, or societal outcome where Blacks are underrepresented is prima facie evidence of the aforementioned systemic racism, or of white supremacy and oppression.
...
I object to the idea that Blacks are unable to succeed in this country without aid from government or from whites. Brearley, by adopting critical race theory [Critical Race Theory], is advocating the abhorrent viewpoint that Blacks should forever be regarded as helpless victims
...
I object to mandatory anti-racism training for parents,
...
I object to Brearley’s vacuous, inappropriate, and fanatical use of words such as “equity,” “diversity” and “inclusiveness.”
...
l object to Brearley’s advocacy for groups and movements such as Black Lives Matter, a Marxist, anti family, heterophobic, anti-Asian and anti-Semitic organization that neither speaks for the majority of the Black community in this country, nor in any way, shape or form, represents their best interests.
...
I object to the gutting of the history, civics, and classical literature curriculums.
...
Lastly, I object, with as strong a sentiment as possible, that Brearley has begun to teach what to think, instead of how to think.
