There is also a Gender Group where grade 6-8 meet bi-weekly in single gender groups facilitated by Middle School faculty. 'Groups discuss gender-related issues, stereotypes, what it means to be authentic and to make good decisions,' the school claims.

So kids are forced to choose a gender identity and be taught that boys belong in female spaces. I can just imagine the reception a child would receive in these groups if she or he dared to express that there are times they want to be in single-sex spaces. This is a pretty blatant attempt to reeducate or engineer children into denying their sex and sex-based preferences. It is crazy. These wealthy kids will someday be the ones making law and policy in the United States.

Megyn Kelly expressed similar concerns about other NYC private schools:

She said her sons' school in particular troubled her. When he was in third grade, she said, they 'unleashed a three-week experimental trans-education program.' Kelly said it was difficult for her son to understand, and not helpful. Her son was in a class where the children were eight and nine at the time. 'It wasn't about support — we felt that it was more like they were trying to convince them,' she said. 'Like, come on over.'

I was thinking the same thing. It's becoming perilously close to reality.

Education Departments, where teachers get trained, are some of the most extreme "woke" organizations you will ever encounter. The wife of a friend of mine is getting her Masters in Education, and they have totally indoctrinated her. There is no freedom of thought in those departments whatsoever. You have to comply, or you will never get a degree.

My mom is a retired teacher and said teachers are more susceptible to this type of thing because they are more emotional and sensitive to the children. It's terrifying nowadays.

I'm beginning to realize that. That is what happening to that Owen Stevens student at SUNY. They suspended him for posting on social media that he does not believe TWAW, and the school argued that his failure to profess a belief in the TWAW slogan makes him unsuitable for an education career.

That's how bad it's gotten, and ten years ago, no one had heard of this. I was a university lecturer in the Humanities, and I had never heard anyone talk about "my pronouns" or TWAW as an article of faith. It all exploded with Tumblr and social media. It's social contagion at a pandemic level.

It still boggles my mind that I taught for 20 years and never had a single trans-identifying student in any of my classes.

If I was paying this amount of money to this school, I'd remove my child and hire a full time teacher to teach my kid.
