Well...I wonder if the parents of these kids are left wingers themselves.....they only have themselves to blame for allowing this craziness.........
There is an easy solution.........fire any teacher who will not return to work......
As to the crazy "Woke" demands........pull your kids, start another school with normal human beings as teachers.......left wing democrats are insane.....and shouldn't be anywhere near children...
Parents of children attending a posh, $55,000-per-year school in New York City are reportedly pulling their kids from classes after teachers, who are refusing to return to work even as other public and private NYC schools are now back to in-person learning, issued a laundry list of woke demands that could cost millions.
------
Before they return to work, however, Dalton School teachers reportedly want a laundry list of demands met — a list of “woke” changes that one parent revealed on his personal blog, The Naked Dollar, last week.
“Possibly relenting under the pressure, Dalton has announced plans to reopen, but this has ignited another firestorm, this time from the faculty,” the parent wrote. “Apparently, reopening is racist.”
“The charge has been leveled by black faculty and staffers,” he continued. “They suggest, among other things, that faculty of color are more at risk from having to come to work. The reasoning is that they have, on average, more distant commutes and therefore expose themselves longer to risky public transportation.”
Around a hundred faculty members signed on to the list, which the Naked Dollar printed in part:
“The demands for additional staffers alone would add millions of dollars to Dalton’s annual budget,” The Naked Dollar notes. “Siphoning off 50% of donations would dry up funding. Eliminating AP classes (referred to as “leveled courses”) would destroy college admissions. It’s not an exaggeration to say these demands, if implemented, would destroy Dalton altogether. According to insiders, much damage has already been done.”

- The hiring of twelve (!) full time diversity officers
- An additional full time employee whose “entire role is to support Black students who come forward with complaints.”
- Hiring of multiple psychologists with “specialization on the psychological issues affecting ethnic minority populations.”
- Pay off student debt of incoming black faculty
- Re-route 50% of all donations to NYC public schools
- Elimination of AP courses if black students don’t score as high as white
- Required courses on “Black liberation”
- Reduced tuition for black students whose photographs appear in school promotional materials
- Public “anti-racism” statements required from all employees
- Mandatory “Community and Diversity Days” to be held “throughout the year”
- Required anti-bias training to be conducted every year for all staff and parent volunteers
- Mandatory minority representation in (otherwise elective) student leadership roles
- Mandatory diversity plot lines in school plays
- Overhaul of entire curriculum to reflect diversity narratives
