Wokeness, antisemitism forced us to pull our kids from their city school

New York City public schools are about to reopen, but my children won’t be there.

My husband and I decided to take our children out of the school system because of its falling academic standards, rising antisemitism and a culture of fearful silence.

My children are 6 and 9. They have no idea who Christopher Columbus is, but they know how to mix paint to match their skin color.

They’ve never heard the inspirational words of Martin Luther King Jr. in school, but they know he was, in their words, “shot by a white guy.”

My younger child was told to look at the color of his skin and determine if that means he is black or white (as Jews, we don’t identify as either).

"Lisa Liss" (might be an alias to hinder harassment) is not a rando-sidelines-sitter. She was co-president of her children's school PTA. She played the good-public-school-parent game to the full, and thus knows much that was done quietly among Prog-educrats. Maybe her children's private school will tell her children who Christopher Columbus was, the good and the bad. Or maybe she'll homeschool?
