SPEAK OUT\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/nyc-private-school-woke-billboards\"><span class=\"s1\">told<\/span><\/a> Fox News that as of Monday morning, the billboards had been put up outside of Brearley School, The Dalton School and Trinity School.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The group organizing the protest \u2014 reported to cost $10,000 \u2014 is a collection of anonymous parents that goes by the name <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepschoolaccountability.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPrep School Accountability.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepschoolaccountability.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">website<\/span><\/a> stated that they are \u201ca group of concerned parents who believe there is a better way to promote diversity and inclusivity at leading independent schools in NYC without sacrificing quality education for all students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It went on to explain, \u201cIn recent years, a new orthodoxy has emerged at our schools, dividing our communities based on immutable characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. As a result, the core tenets of high-quality education\u2014uniting all children and families through a love and appreciation for learning and community spirit\u2014have gone by the wayside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSchools should unite us, not divide us,\u201d it added. \u201cTo save our schools, administrators must ensure academic rigor and intellectual integrity are requirements of any core curriculum while respecting parents as the primary moral educators of their children.\u00a0 We hope to contribute to a necessary and ongoing dialogue surrounding diversity education to achieve diversity, inclusion, and quality education for all students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Below the statement is a form that allows parents to submit their own stories if they or their child has \u201cwitnessed concerning content or been part of a troubling experience regarding NYC prep school curricula,\u201d adding that submissions are completely anonymous.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of the group\u2019s leaders spoke to the Post, saying that the group cares about diversity, noting, \u201cwe are not all white.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He explained, \u201cWhat we want is a balanced view of it and a balanced curriculum. We have white, black, Indian, Asian, gay, straight parents who are not on board with a lot of this radical stuff. And it\u2019s a mistake to make this a left-vs.-right issue. It\u2019s across the board. Liberals used to value free speech and revere people like Martin Luther King. Not so much anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He added, \u201cOne 11-year-old girl I know of came home [from school] crying and saying, \u2018Why are white people so bad?\u2019 I also know of a black kid who came home and was puzzled as why black people were better than everyone else.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Another parent in the Prep School Accountability group told the outlet, \u201cIn the past six weeks this movement has snowballed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe\u2019re focused on New York City but people are finding out that it\u2019s everywhere. The problem is that even though most private school parents consider themselves liberal Democrats, you only read about this stuff in conservative media,\u201d he added. \u201cUntil it crosses into all media, a lot of people will still be in the dark or they\u2019ll think it\u2019s all some exaggeration. It\u2019s all over the place.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cEveryone is still deathly afraid of speaking publicly,\u201d a private school parent told the Post. \u201cThey\u2019re scared to even talk to their friends. What middle-aged white guy working in a bank would dare speak out? They\u2019d be fired tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dalton School parents recently made headlines after they spoke out against videos that contained the topic of masturbation that were shown to children in first grade, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/parents-at-elite-nyc-private-school-outraged-over-graphic-sex-ed-videos-shown-to-first-graders\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by The Daily Wire.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/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.
