“#Faculty at NYC’s Dalton School issues 8-page anti-racism manifesto<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

One of NYC\u2019s poshest private schools is in an uproar over an anti-racist manifesto signed by dozens of faculty members with a sweeping list of demands.<\/p>\n

The Dalton School \u2014 which boasts stars Anderson Cooper, Christian Slater and Claire Danes as alumni \u2014 is wrestling with eight pages of \u201cproposals\u201d to overhaul the staffing, curriculum and treatment of black students.<\/p>\n

Yearly tuition for grades K-12 at the Upper East Side institution is $54,180 a year.<\/p>\n

The proposals \u2014 first reported this week by The Naked Dollar blog \u2014 grew out of the George Floyd police-brutality protests and long-simmering student complaints of racism at the prestigious school.<\/p>\n

But some parents say the backlash has become oppressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy ancestors experienced white supremacy by being slaughtered,\u201d a Jewish parent told The Post.\u00a0 \u201cThe idea that being white automatically means you are privileged or a white supremacist is ridiculous. My child comes from people who had to fight for everything they got.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just about skin color now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those who disagree remain silent, the insider said. \u201cParents are terrified to speak up for fear of retribution. Parents are acting like spineless wimps.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Dalton father, who said he\u2019s removed his children from the school as a result of the manifesto, said Dalton \u201chas totally failed in its mission to uplift the very people it professes to help.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s completely absurd and a total step backwards,\u201d the father, who\u00a0did not want to be identified, told the Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis supposed anti-racist agenda is asking everyone to look at black kids and treat them differently because of the color of their skin,\u201d he said. \u201cThe school is more focused on virtue-signaling this nonsense than it is in actually helping students of color. More parents are going to be pulling their kids out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wide-ranging faculty demands include:<\/p>\n
