It’s 2021 – Mastercard may now be woke, but we don’t have to be. We’re in the middle of Annual Giving Season, and NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) is sending around directives to Independent X Schools on how to mandate the experimental Covid vaccine for our 5 year olds. So, unless you want Olivia and Charlie to read lurid depictions in graphic novels of kids performing oral sex and for Independent X School to spend illicit amounts of the budget to force teachers to read that “The white body is the supreme standard…the black body is inhuman,” (the words of “anti-racist” Robin DiAngelo aka White Privilege author), then for God’s sake,
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Your kids may not know who he is, but we still do. Independent X School will use high Annual Giving participation numbers to increase race/gender/intersectionality/successor/DEI ideology. If you want your kids to know who Emerson is or how to graph a function, tell everyone not to give this year. It’s the only way we can be heard. It’s the only way to save our children.
