The historic all-boys Browning School on the Upper East Side says it will now begin accepting trans students who identify as male as part of a new gender policy, infuriating some of its deep-pocketed parents.
“As a school that proudly celebrates and affirms boys at every stage of their lives, we acknowledge that the many ways in which gender can be lived and expressed are vastly different now than at our founding in 1888,” the prestigious private Manhattan academy recently wrote in a letter to parents.
The elite K-12 school — which costs $62,500 a year and was founded to educate brothers Percy and John D. Rockefeller — added on its website, “The Browning School will consider for admission any child who (i) identifies as a boy or (ii) was assigned male at birth, who wishes to join a boys’ school and is well-served by our mission.
“We will not consider for admission a student who identifies as a girl at the time of application,” the school said.
Browning added that if an admitted student no longer identifies as a boy, the school will work to accommodate the young person.
