Schools Must Resist Destructive Anti-racist Demands — John McWhorter (2021)
Source: Original · Readwise highlight
At Dalton, all of the new hires and the shunting of 50 percent of donations to New York City public schools would represent an enormous financial strain; eliminating tracked courses would be a huge blow to student competitiveness.
- Role: subject
- In the article: An elite private K-12 school where 129 faculty and staff signed a leaked letter with demands such as 12 diversity officers and redirecting half of donations. McWhorter argues the school has already made serious efforts and the demands would harm it.
- Why it matters: Dalton extends the argument from universities to elite private schools.
