The Dalton School in Manhattan is having a race meltdown. It's absolutely insane. Teachers are holding the school for ransom with demands, but they're so extreme the school will crumble if they give in. But they'll crumble if they don't, too! https://pic8.co/sh/lfB4yJ.jpeg
Here are some of the demands:
The hiring of twelve (!) full time diversity officers
An additional full time employee whose "entire role is to support Black students who come forward with complaints."
Hiring of multiple psychologists with "specialization on the psychological issues affecting ethnic minority populations."
Pay off student debt of incoming black faculty
Re-route 50% of all donations to NYC public schools
Elimination of AP courses if black students don't score as high as white
Required courses on "Black liberation"
Reduced tuition for black students whose photographs appear in school promotional materials
Public "anti-racism" statements required from all employees
Mandatory "Community and Diversity Days" to be held "throughout the year"
Required anti-bias training to be conducted every year for all staff and parent volunteers
Mandatory minority representation in (otherwise elective) student leadership roles
Mandatory diversity plot lines in school plays
Overhaul of entire curriculum to reflect diversity narratives
