The saga began last June, when students launched an anonymous Instagram channel and threatened to publicly "cancel" their teachers and principals for their "vast history of systemic racism," "white liberal racist thinking," and "direct, intentional, repeated racial trauma."pic.twitter.com/T5XkQ1aaXt
Next, the students demanded that the school institute mandatory antiracism trainings, "decolonize" the curriculum, create "safe spaces," support the "exploration of diverse gender identities," reject the "Eurocentric focus of mainstream academia,” and teach "intersectionality."pic.twitter.com/oc2ISVodc2
Keep in mind: none of the students at the UN School, which costs up to $44,000 per year, are oppressed. These children of privilege have adopted the mantle of the oppressed in order to satisfy their own moral narcissism and exercise power over their elders.
Rather than swat down this hysteria of privilege, the craven leadership at the school immediately caved in to the students' demands: they hired a diversity director, implemented mandatory antiracism training, and began "decolonizing" the curriculum.
I asked the school director Dan Brenner if, as the students alleged, he was a "racist" and "oppressor." He refused to answer the question and sent me an email saying he must commit to "anti-racist beliefs" and repeated the slogan "Black Lives Matter." The children are in control.
The woke hysteria is now swallowing all of our institutions and we need courageous leaders who are willing to draw the line. Sign up for my newsletter to follow my series of reports on wokeness in education:https://christopherrufo.com/newsletter
So glad I left teaching.
Okay but lets be real we’re the United Nations International School. INTERNATIONAL. We shouldnt have a Eurocentric curriculum, I mean we hardly covered major regions like South Asia. I agree that parts of what the admin has done and is doing is a bit much but... (1)
A broader and more international curriculum is not inherently a bad a thing... but again I agree that factions of the school have pushed very leftish agendas but that doesnt reflect the entirety of the student body nor the faculty
