THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE

No Matter How Organic It Seems, The Colorful Veneer Is Always Meticulously Curated

School is back in session, new laptops have been handed out, new Challenge Success 8-day schedules are being assimilated, new themes for the year have been announced, new superfluous bureaucratic administrators have been added, new dream sessions for new capital campaigns have been scheduled, and new unnecessary programs have been touted.  September is traditionally the biggest, most important month of the school year setting the tone for parent participation, expectations, and most importantly, financial contributions.  Our calendars have been packed with back-to-school nights, moms nights out, diversity and inclusion breakfasts, annual fund cocktail parties, financial aid dinners, capital campaign parties, post drop-off Pilates classes, special assemblies, spirit week, homecoming, galas, parent education presentations, sports boosters/snacks, DEI affinity group meet-ups, non-DEI affinity group meet-ups, ice cream socials, faculty appreciation lunches, service days, and committee meetings for every one of these activities.  And that’s just for us parents.  Remember when our parents dropped us off at Independent X School and the only parent volunteer event was the book fair?  This revolving door of activities and groups to make Independent X School a “community” is all just a diversion.

As we attended committee meetings adorned in Independent X School branded merch (designer handbags having lost all social cachet after every looter and his mother in America accumulated countless), across the country or right next door, the UN held its annual SDG Summit last week to accelerate plans to transform the world by 2030.  Yes, the 2030 Agenda is not a “conspiracy theory.”  It’s a real international agenda, it’s insouciantly insidious, and our children at Independent X School play the most essential role.

Haute Sustainable Development Goals

If you do not know what SDGs are, you have no idea they are already embedded in Independent X School.  SDGs are more chronic than STDs and much more difficult to eradicate.  In 2015, the UN declared 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the world must collectively meet by 2030.  Despite UK PM Rishi Sunak’s disingenuous attempts to calm his approval ratings by rhetorically walking in place 2030 green plans, the UN proclaimed last week’s SDG Summit marked “the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals with high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions leading up to 2030.”  UN SDG 4 calls for “Transforming Education” for “inclusive and equitable” “lifelong learning” for all by administering education in “global citizenship.”  Having included these values for decades, Independent X School has been quietly accelerating action.

CRT, 1619 Project, trans, sex ed for first graders, DEI, SEL, ESG.  These are no longer controversial topics at NAIS Schools.  They are no longer in question, no longer touted, and no longer even mentioned.  They are assumed and embedded.  If the media is covering an issue, if public school parents are protesting the issue, it has already been implemented throughout NAIS Schools which have advanced onto the next stages.  As NAIS Schools quietly walk back Covid vax mandates after entire student bodies (and faculty) already complied and the few hold outs opted themselves out of the system, our children are being groomed to lead a new order – one in which they are Americans no longer but dutiful citizens of a new united global society under the guiding framework of the UN SDGs.

Components of the SDGs were already incorporated into NAIS Schools well before the UN declared the 17 SDGs in its 2030 Agenda.  In 2004, NAIS anointed a Director of Global Initiatives.  In 2005, NAIS laid out its vision for schools to become sustainable in demographic, financial, environmental, global and programmatic processes.  In 2010, NAIS implemented Educating for Global Citizenship.  After the UN announced its 17 SDGs, the NAIS Board of Directors officially voted in 2019 to approve a new organizational vision centering diversity and equity as the guiding forces of their work: “All learners find pathways to success through the independence, innovation, and diversity of our schools, creating a more equitable world.”  Vanderbilt researchers boast a well-established partnership with “the NAIS community” in collecting empirical data on NAIS School’s DEI practices (more on this later).  NAIS also ingrained mandates on Environmental Sustainability, Equity and Justice, and Educating For Global Citizenship in its Principles of Good Practice.  While statements in the Principles of Good Practice are seemingly innocuous, it is in the secret instruction at professional development conferences and behind the scenes application where the nefarious rubber meets the authoritarian road.

Draped In Glimmering Swaths Of Global Citizenship

Have you noticed Independent X School Headmasters taking trips abroad to China, France, Israel?  NAIS is international (ICAISA).  Even Anna Wintour’s quaint alma mater North London Collegiate School (UK), a member of the Girls' Schools Association, has associate schools located in South Korea, Dubai, Vietnam and Singapore.  But do not be naïve.  International mindedness and global citizenship are not about understanding different cultures and global economies to make our children more collaborative and more competitive.  No, global citizenship and international mindedness are an allegiance to the UN/WEF hierarchy that puts America last and nullifies national sovereignty of all countries.  Read their webpages.  All structures, all rights, all responsibilities, all issues, all solutions are global.  The UN aims for global citizenship education to be transformative in “cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral” ways to build a global utopia.  Not neo-Marxist in the least.

To facilitate the SDGs, NGOs like Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Learning Compass 2030 shape policies and produce standards, programs, and initiatives of “collective wisdom and shared values.”  Shared by whom?  Unelected global bodies, of course, whose values include tyranny of individual racial and sexual/gender identities, social justice, and civic engagement in supposed sustainability (of NATO nations only) – values not practiced by the very people who dictate them.  In goosestep, just as every NAIS School from Belmont Day (MA) to Porter-Gaud (SC) to University Prep (WA) installed DEI Directors in 2020-2022, NAIS Schools have been hiring Directors of Global Citizenship and Wellness.  Episcopal School of Dallas (TX) is appointing a Global Competency Council Chair to direct curricula, programming, and direct global partnerships in line with the SDGs and new global “community.”

Quiet Luxury Beliefs

Like fashion’s white flight, the original luxury belief was signaled when NAIS Schools changed their missions ever so slightly about a decade ago from academic preparedness and character development to include global citizenship.  Castilleja (CA) educates motivated young women to become leaders with a sense of purpose to effect change in the world.  Choate (CT) aims to provide students an experience that enriches their lives and prepares them for an ever-changing world.  Georgetown Day (DC) graduates leave GDS with the willingness and capacity to bring needed change to a troubled world.  Collegiate (NY) prepares students to be citizens who act with conscience, courage, and compassion.  Brearley (NY) prepares girls (and boys who identify as girls) for principled engagement in the world.  Spence (NY) prepares a diverse community of girls and young women (and young men identifying as women) for the lifelong transformation of self and the world with purpose, passion and perspective.  New Roads (CA) – an even more progressive Crossroads (CA), proclaims they “cultivate habits of mind, habits of character, an ever expanding awareness of the human situation, and the tools needed for intellectual, social, political, and moral participation as well as personal fulfillment.”  New Roads is committed to “the liberation of each student’s curiosity,” engineering “the development of a student population diverse in every way: social, economic, neurological, ethnic, racial, cultural, nationality, ideological, ableness, religious, sexual orientation, gender expression, and family makeup,” and “serving the larger ecological and social community.  They are Mindful of the ever-changing world…”  Contrast these statements with a recent study showing zero students across twenty-three Baltimore public schools are proficient in math.

Pret-A-Porter Programming

As NAIS Schools’ missions changed, global values were woven further into the curriculum and programming infiltrating our children’s psyche and identity formation.  They are taught to think of themselves as citizens of the world with no allegiance to America or American ideals.  Like AI, humankind is evolving.  There is no more need for borders, nations, history, capitalism, “gender,” or nuclear families.  Even when your father is Elon Musk, the richest man in the world making the ultimate virtue signal – electric vehicles, he must be disowned as a transphobic capitalist.  The future is our future.  Our children can no longer be taught to be part of the evil imperialist American empire, they now belong to the global “community.” New Roads (CA) alum Amanda Gorman addressed all of humankind at last year’s UN Assembly: “Exhausted, angered, we are” she versed.  Until the UN, WEF, and NAIS our overlords, will be.

Not all NAIS Schools advertise the SDGs on their social media, but they are all teaching them outright or embedded into their curriculum under code words like “sustainability,” “equity,” “wellness,” “safety,” and “community.”  St. Matthew’s Parish School (CA) taught the SDGs to first graders on a Zoom with their fifth grade buddies during Covid distance learning.  Topics for the debate team at Westminster (GA) cover the Green New Deal and equitable wealth distribution.  SDG topics are engrained into speakers, human development, faculty professional development, technology, class assemblies and of course distinguished fellowships and residencies - typical marketing schemes to make these global topics seem exclusive.  Even in the colors NAIS and NAIS Schools use on their media, they are signaling their allegiance.

Global citizenship extends much further than curriculum and programming.  Our children are being groomed in Independent X School to lead global activism even more than we were decades ago.  The primary purpose of NAIS Schools is not to provide a thorough education in Aristotle, Locke, Shakespeare, and Joyce, to learn, understand, observe, and analyze.  The primary purpose of NAIS Schools is, as New Roads (CA) touts, the “liberation of young minds” – quintessential Marxist ideology that has infected religion (liberation theology) as well as education.  Liberation from what?  The current God-centered individual rights capitalism that made America a beacon.  To transform them, 501(c)(3) NAIS Schools including Latin School of Chicago (IL) instruct our children in partisan and issue targeted GOTV.  Crossroads (CA) launched its Equity & Justice Institute September 2018 “to provide more opportunities for students to develop as engaged citizens and to significantly bolster the School’s impact on the global community.”  When Biden announced the launching of an “American Climate Corps” last week, we knew from where its leaders will come.  Every lunchtime incident involving a Collegiate (NY) student regardless of the circumstances and facts, every hurricane, every election, every homeless ignited wildfire, is an existential crisis to reimagine society and transform the world.  To what?  Remember a few paragraphs above?  To the global collective wisdom and shared values.  Again, not Marxist at all.

Global Atelier

But why Independent X School?  While public school parents are right to be outraged their children are so far behind academically as we drive our children in Range Rovers to private schools with private coaches, it’s critical to understand and reform NAIS Schools because they are the roadmap for America.  In 2019, Susannah Livingston stated in “The Politics of Liberation and Love in Privileged Classrooms” in Rethinking Critical Pedagogy: “The majority of private school teachers see the primary purpose of education as empowering students to positively change society.  Most private school teachers have some experience with critical pedagogy.”  Because “the majority of students attending these elite institutions are the children of members of and/or benefit from hegemonic and repressive power structures in place,” elite private schools are “uniquely placed to assist the movement of elite students toward places of liberatory and positive praxis by anchoring private school experiences in Freiran pedagogy.”  This dogma is echoed by teachers from Trinity (NY) to St. Matthew’s (CA) where teachers know that as “the future ruling class,” our children must be programmed deliberately with critical pedagogy aka Marxism.  Furthermore, Independent X Students – our children, are naturally more deferential to authority, making Independent X School the perfect lab to grow and train the new global society.

By Design

Maybe we should identify as men because here’s the macro.  (Hey Charlie Kirk, we also think about the Roman Empire daily.)  Ukraine, Maui, East Palestine, trans, open borders, Haiti, oppressing farmers, CBDC, C40 Cities, it’s all part of a larger agenda of – Say it with us: Global Marxism.  An agenda by any other name would smell as authoritarian.  Never let a crisis go to waste: (1) Take advantage of tragedy to dismantle the structure/system and (2) Reimagine and Transform the structure/system under the global framework of the UN SDGs.  All the intentional incompetence, grift, public-private partnerships, mandates, they all work together to accomplish the UN SDGs – the rubric for a global society ruled by unelected unaccountable international bureaucrats.  If you doubt the global agenda, ask yourself why the Biden Harris campaign has plenty of big dollar donors but is not getting small dollar money.  Or why DAs across the nation received millions in campaign contributions to not prosecute crime.  Or why Randi Weingarten was invited with nineteen Big Tech leaders to the Senate AI forum.  Or why there is a proliferation of NGOs and 501(c)(3)’s spending billions not on improving but on directing education and elections.  When Larry Fink stops using the term ESG, it is not because public sentiment against ESG and cratering profits have triumphed, it is because ESG has already been baked into the system.  There is no reason to discuss it anymore because for all intents and purposes it has been completed.  Congress didn’t pass a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill being used to install cameras on traffic and streetlights across the nation in the dead of night while East Palestine remains ignored for shits and giggles.

This macro agenda is being run through NAIS Schools.  What happens at NAIS Schools does not stay in NAIS Schools.  We repeat: NAIS Schools are the roadmap and the road.  The global community are telling us what they are doing.  Take Maui.  After the worst fire disaster in our nation’s history, private help was turned away before Punahou (HI) alum former President Obama directed donations to Hawaii Community Foundation.  Sadly, we know we must be cautious when it comes to foundations, and a glance at Hawaii Community Foundation does not prove us wrong.  The Board is populated with the heads of corporations in line to profit off the rezoning/rebuilding/smart citification of Lahaina.  This in and of itself is not entirely suspicious until you get to the end of the list and see a member not associated with a larger bank or corporation but with her own self-named consultancy.  Judy Pietsch is a former long-time Punahou college counselor married to Michael Pietsch, Punahou alum as well as one of the longest-serving Punahou trustees and CEO of Title Guaranty, one of Hawaii's largest mortgage firms.  In the midst of historic and cultural preservation vs. smart city development battles in Hawaii, Judy and Michael Pietsch have spent considerable time and funds to Re/Imagine education and communities under the framework of the UN SDGs.  What happens in NAIS Schools does not stay in NAIS Schools.

Look at Ukraine being reimagined.  Its economic recovery – the greatest military industrial complex grift of all time, will be led by Castilleja (CA) alum Penny Pritzker, living up to Castilleja’s mission of effecting change in the world.  (Of course, Penny is joined in reimagining new global society by brothers Milton Academy (MA) alum and Latin School of Chicago (IL) alum parent Illinois governor JB Pritzker and Menlo School (CA) alum and Harvard-Westlake (CA) alum parent and trustee RAND Center for Asia Pacific Policy advisory board member Anthony Pritzker.)  We are not even getting into the Ackmans, Dimons, and Griffins of the bunch.  The greatest scheme PE ever levered is awash in NAIS School alums and parents even more than Military Industrial Complex leader RAND whose Vice President is New Roads (CA) trustee-parent Melissa Rowe and whose Board includes Michael E. Leiter (Dwight-Englewood, NY), Raynard S. Kington (Andover, MA Headmaster), Michael Lynton (International School of the Hague, Netherlands; Exeter, MA), and Soledad O’Brien (Taft, CT and Westminster, CT parent). 

As the global agenda is implemented by alums and our children trained in NAIS Schools, NAIS School Headmasters are no longer educators.  Like governors, DAs, and presidents installed by the global community, they are facilitators overseeing directed operations with feigned naivete and sometimes intentional incompetence to implement the UN SDGs before being handsomely rewarded after retirement.  In less than a year after retiring from Spence (NY), former Headmaster Bodie Brizendine obtained multiple consultancies with RG175 (NAIS partner executive search firm), Cornell Capital, and “other financial services” after her strategic integration of ESG into Spence.  Why?  The same reason we’ve been warning about data collection in Independent X School.  Data is the infrastructure of the new global society.  It’s why the CIA is preparing to roll out AI for US intelligence agencies to analyze massive amounts of data.  Let’s turn it around and collect our own data.  Arm yourself and your children with cameras and record Independent X School meetings while supporting James O’Keefe’s vigilant work at OMG (O’Keefe Media Group).

Do not think the pendulum is swinging back.  There is no pendulum.  We are in an ever-shifting Overton Window.  Remember: by the time the media has started covering a topic, NAIS Schools have already been programming two steps ahead into the global agenda.  You are not safe even in Gozzer, so let’s keep pushing back.
