Uproar at NYC’s posh Dalton School after faculty issues 8-page anti-racism manifesto


One of the demands:
"Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks."

Why would any parent want their child to under-achieve to compensate for any others students lack of achievement?

All things being equal, such as socio-economic status and home environment, do black student fail "high-level academic courses" more than non-black students?

I have never seen a study including these parameters.

Are aptitude test results of any value in predicting academic achievement?

If this method of attempting to compensate for racisms continues without abetment, western civilization is doomed!

The US as here in the UK, is being damaged by the lefties who want to destroy all the good that we have believed in and held to for centuries. I am NOT a racist person, but believe that mass immigration, legal and illegal, is actually very bad for our two countries, because the greater majority of those who arrive, do not share the same values and life, or faith, that is broadly based on the Holy Bible. Even here in the UK they are lowering the entry pass grades for our top universities, so that the so-called "disadvantaged" might get in by the back door!

The dumbing down of the curriculum started after World War II when teachers fell in line with socialist John Dewey. Then came finger painting and basket weaving. People wondered why Johnny can’t read? Sex ed was introduced and soon became teacher grooming. Now teachers are heavily unionized with the NEA and AFT so that they have destroyed education in the big cities because teachers don’t want to teach in places like Indianapolis.

very much as like here. not too long ago there was morning assembly in all schools here in the UK, which used to have singing of Christian hymns, prayer and Bible reading. Then with the explosion of mass immigration, these were objected to, and slowly removed, as it caused "offence"! The mixing of different cultures, like Christian and Muslim can never work, and it is always the former that "gives way" and then the erosion of Christian values takes over. I am very heavy hearted for you guys in the US, because of Biden as POTUS, as I believe your country will be much worse off with him. And any good that Trump did do, will probably be reversed.

Why do students of color perform at a level that you fear will doom this country? How can we make sure more students are prepared to do the work that you believe will save this country from doom?

Building any people group requires teaching and empowering children, and providing remedial teaching and discipleship training for adults.

A video on YouTube by a Spaniard said that Muslims will never assimilate and never even think about it.

I guess the left is trying to ruin education in the Western World.

Did BoJo lock down all of the UK for Christmas? He turned left, didn’t he?

Islam is 100% demonic, and until the foolish "West" accept this fact, our countries will be taken over by these evil people. The left are not "trying", but "doing", while the others sleep! Our flip-flop "leader" does not know the first thing about leading a country. He is actually controlled by his blondie, who runs the show! Where I live in the West, the restrictions are not the highest, London and the South-East is hard hit.

The only real Hope for this world is, either the Lord intervenes quickly in its affairs, or He Comes back.

My statement was: "If this method of attempting to compensate for racisms continues without abetment, western civilization is doomed!"

The "method" is reducing the intellectual standards of academia to compensate for the lack of achievement of black students.

Then I posed the following question: "All things being equal, such as socio-economic status and home environment, do black student fail "high-level academic courses" more than non-black students?" I see no research to answer that question.

However, since academia seems to endorse the dumbing-down of curriculum to allow black students to achieve, perhaps the question is without merit.

Apparently, academia has given up on making more black students prepared to do the work to achieve higher academic standards.

I see these trends in education as a threat to western civilization, not just the USA.

It has recently come to light that the reason black students fail to achieve is because educators are racist.

https://nypost.com/2020/12/06/san-diego-teachers-forced-to-attend-white-privilege-training/
A school district in San Diego held “white privilege” training for teachers in which they were told, “you are racist” and asked to commit to becoming “anti-racist” in the classroom, according to a report.

Non-western civilizations are, as far as I know, maintaining their academic standards. Therefore, I expect in relative short-order, they will surpass us in science, technology and medicine thereby leading to our demise in the political and military arenas.

…Why would any parent want their child to under-achieve to compensate for any others students lack of achievement?...

Good question. And who in their right mind would want to pay for the "privilege"? Stupid pedagogues.

…If this method of attempting to compensate for racisms continues without abetment, western civilization is doomed!

If this is suggesting that this is not their goal, then may I suggest the suggestion is wrong?

Just read that this was the school were Epstein used to teach. What could go wrong there?

 

[Ziggy]

Add to it that the Dalton School costs $54k per child annually.... No wonder Gloria Vanderbilt's son Anderson Cooper went there.

He turned out badly in spite of the extravagant education, didn’t he?

What should we think of a school that hires so many faculty dead set on foisting an anti-America agenda onto children as evidenced by their manifesto?

The rich are very decadent. They cover their depraved acts with money. They are snobbish and wonder if you like them or their money although it is often neither one. My experience with the very wealthy is that they are very cheap. This school is not a good school. I’d think that having had Epstein as a teacher would give them an unsavory reputation. Looks like they need to go back to the 3 Rs and reorganize with a new name. They need to forget the social justice stuff and train people as well as possible. I think this everyone dumbed down is a John Dewey idea. Dewey wrote a million books. Satan might have had him on automatic writing.
