We don\u2019t survive that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The school \u201cmade it seem like they\u2019re going to integrate this racial curriculum, this anti-racism curriculum, into everything \u2014 every class, into math, into gym, P.E. I mean \u2026 was sort of shocking that they were taking this to that degree of integrating it into everything,\u201d Gutmann said, describing the issue as \u201cpervasive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">He stated it was more than just a curriculum at the school. \u201cThey advocated for Black Lives Matter and they want families to advocate for Black Lives Matter,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cThis is the anti-racism principle, right, where they say \u2018Okay, if you\u2019re not anti-racist, you\u2019re racist.\u2019 It\u2019s more even than that. It\u2019s that \u2018if you just stay silent, you\u2019re racist.\u2019 You have to be an activist for that. If you are not an activist for this anti-racism initiative, for Black Lives Matter, for example, you are racist, you are a bad person, you are an oppressor, you are not doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Gutmann sent a letter to parents of the school that was originally published in journalist Bari Weiss\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bariweiss.substack.com\/p\/you-have-to-read-this-letter\"><span class=\"s1\">Common Sense<\/span><\/a>\u201d Substack letter, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/headmaster-at-elite-new-york-private-school-resigns-following-schools-embrace-of-anti-racism\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>. He explained his reasoning for pulling his child from the school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Excerpts from the letter can be found below:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"39\">\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>In short, we no longer believe that Brearley\u2019s administration and Board of Trustees have any of our children\u2019s best interests at heart. Moreover, we no longer have confidence that our daughter will receive the quality of education necessary to further her development into a critically thinking, responsible, enlightened, and civic minded adult. I write to you, as a fellow parent, to share our reasons for leaving the Brearley community but also to urge you to act before the damage to the school, to its community, and to your own child\u2019s education is irreparable.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>It cannot be stated strongly enough that Brearley\u2019s 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. What follows are my own personal views on Brearley\u2019s antiracism initiatives, but these are just a handful of the criticisms that I know other parents have expressed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. I cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>I object to the charge of systemic racism in this country. \u2026 I object to the idea that Blacks are unable to succeed in this country without aid from government or from whites. \u2026 I object to mandatory anti-racism training for parents, especially when presented by the rent-seeking charlatans of Pollyanna. \u2026 I object to Brearley\u2019s vacuous, inappropriate, and fanatical use of\u00a0words such as \u2018equity,\u2019 \u2018diversity\u2019 and \u2018inclusiveness.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">Gutmann added, \u201cI object to Brearley\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
