Further, that the board has not weighed in on this matter gives the impression that the board shares the opinion that racism is indeed acceptable as long as it fits within the climate of the times,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/07\/05\/parents-target-spence-school-principal-and-board-over-woke-video-flap\/%20%20Apology%20not%20accepted.\">The New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire\u2019s Chrissy Clark <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/parents-outraged-after-elite-nyc-school-shows-video-to-eighth-graders-of-white-women-being-ridiculed-for-being-white\/\">reported<\/a> in June:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"32.82737576286\">\n<p><em>An ex-trustee and Spence School alumna pulled her daughter from the school after students were shown a video of white women being \u201ctarred and feathered\u201d by a black comedian. Hispanic technology executive Gabriela Baron penned a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/15\/spence-school-showed-vid-that-tarred-and-feathered-white-women\/\">letter<\/a> to the Spence School administration claiming that the video \u201copenly derides, humiliates, and ridicules white women.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey sat there in their graduation dresses while the white mothers of the white students \u2014 many of whom volunteer, donate, call, email, and do whatever the school asks of them \u2014 were tarred and feathered in a video their teacher showed them. While their white female teachers were mocked,\u201d Baron wrote.&nbsp;\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The video was of comedian Ziwe Fumudoh and featured sit-down interviews with writer Fran Lebowitz and women\u2019s rights activist Gloria Steinem. Fumudoh also interviewed four \u201cKarens,\u201d which she dubbed as \u201cobnoxious, angry and entitled, often racist, white women.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At one point in the video, Fumudoh said to Lebowitz, \u201cI believe that you are not concerned with how annoying white women can be.\u201d&nbsp;I hate that the school permitted this violation to happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Baron also stated, \u201cIt is very difficult to sit here regretting every ounce of effort and every dollar I have poured into this institution. I feel insulted, humiliated, and used. It confirms the tragic but inescapable conclusion that Spence has lost its way and that there is insufficient oversight of what is going on in Spence\u2019s classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Head of School Bodie Brizendine apologized after the furor, writing, \u201cWe take this seriously; it was never acceptable to ridicule anyone at any time. This video is not part of the Spence curriculum. Our teacher and the School acknowledge that sharing a satirical video that made fun of white women was a significant mistake. We are sorry for any harm this has caused to anyone in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The irate parent added, \u2018Choosing to label the video as \u2018satirical\u2019 and that it \u2018made fun of\u2019 and \u2018ridicules\u2019 is a gross understatement. That you \u2018fully trust the professionalism of your dedicated faculty and will be strengthening protocols\u2019 is not an acceptable response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the notable former students of Spence School, which has an annual tuition of $57,000, include Gwyneth Paltrow, Kerry Washington, Emmy Rossum; Michael Bloomberg\u2019s daughter Georgina; and Mick Jagger\u2019s daughter Jade.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
