Carefree Naivete Is No Longer An Option In The Face Of Malicious NAIS Campaigns
Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Poland, even Equador. ESG’s war on energy and war on children has spread to a war on farmers and will continue to spread to every sector, every group, until – yes, it comes for you. Being in the elite does not protect you. Just the opposite – being in the elite makes you the target. Your Vermont summer estate, your Swiss chalet, yes even your West Palm Beach waterlocked home will not shelter you. Whether it’s the WEF or “civilians” as CNN refers to them, they will come for you at the Meadow Club, Breakers, Bohemian Grove, and Independent X School. Independent X School has already quietly been stripping dedicated mothers of their volunteer positions before expelling their innocent children a week before graduation. The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and Independent X School do not play by fair rules; they are brutal regimes. Your silence will not save your family. Your compliance will certainly not secure your child’s admission to Princeton.
Summer Review – NAIS’ Organized Campaign To Transform Privates
Remember a mere 2 years ago when a Black@ Instagram page for Independent X School appeared detailing purported racist incidents? Dozens of alums of color at Independent X School instantaneously provided statements of racist incidents/microaggressions just in time to commence the Summer of George. Notice any similarities?
These are just a sample – there are hundreds more. After each appeared, Independent X headmasters across the nation expressed extreme shock and sadness that their students had lived these experiences - “lived experiences” if you will, under their watch. Response letters with calls to action came out promptly. Perhaps some headmasters genuinely were shocked and saddened. Others were already actively pursuing activist DEI agendas – particularly those of color like Felicia Wilks (Spence from Lakeside), Jorge de Jesus (Dalton from Lake Forest Academy), Katherine Dinh (Marin Country Day), Randall Dunn (Rye Country Day from Latin School of Chicago), Ed Kim (formerly St. Matthew’s Parish), Tekakwitha Pernambuco-Wise (Wyndcroft and consultant with The Baby Jane Group – NAIS crisis management group), Rodney Glasgow (Sandy Springs Friends and The Glasgow Group – DEI consultancy extraordinaire), Damian Jones (The Center for Early Education from Edmund Burke), Luis Ottley (St. Paul Academy and Summit from St. Martin’s Episcopal), and Noni Lopez (The Gordon School) to name a few. They were already headmasters, discussing the racism they faced, and possessed leadership roles at NAIS – the main organization pressuring activist DEI agenda at privates across the nation. If Black@ racism was happening to students of color under their watch, they had piss poor management and leadership, with a generous heaping of hypocrisy. Either way, the Black@ Campaign was used to transform Independent X School into Ibram X. Kendi School at hyper-speed to ensure full transformation by 2030.
Meanwhile, we were to believe that statements of racist incidents/microaggressions from thousands of alums of color at hundreds of NAIS privates just happened to flutter down like helicopter money, and identical IG accounts with google links appeared and eventually ceased posting at the same exact time? Coincidences never cease. Could it be that these identical IG accounts with unverified anonymous statements from the most elite schools in America were not organic? That they were…planned?! Mon Dieu! Who could have orchestrated such a campaign, and why would anyone do such a thing?
Coincidentally, NAIS happens to possess the necessary infrastructure and direct communications to each of these schools and their students with its Person of Color Conference (PoCC) and Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC) – the latter where self-enriching demagogues like Rodney Glasgow preach victimology to select groups of high school students who are warned the SS will report them for sharing any SDLC information. SDLC has better internal security than Scientology with only Coleman Hughes leaving the cult to tell the tale. Additionally, NAIS sponsor and partner Klingenstein Philanthropies has decades long research and infrastructure in three topics: (1) Neuroscience; (2) Independent School Education; and (3) Early Childhood, with an endowed teacher’s college at Columbia – conveniently located in the heart of the largest cluster of the nation’s most elite NAIS privates. How interesting that a foundation would focus on the three key ingredients of elite capture.
But why would NAIS intentionally want Independent X School to support BLM – a verifiably fraudulent Marxist “nonprofit” and sever Independent X School and the parent body? It can’t be because NAIS has an agenda aligned with growing the DEI Industrial Complex of which so many NAIS-affiliated headmasters and consultants profit. It’s not like NAIS is advancing the coordinated Black@ Campaign into increased DEI capital campaigns. Oh wait…
Like most things today, it was a scam. It was a scam designed to tug at our best intentions. We were fooled without asking questions. We were outraged without critical analysis. We still hadn’t learned our lesson from Jussie Smollet. Like Jussie, the Black@ Campaign wasn’t seeking justice, it was selling a cynical lie designed to reveal and purge critical thinkers so Independent X School could be captured and transformed into programming factories controlled wholly by NAIS. Give me a child until he’s 7, and I will show you the man. Give Klingenstein-NAIS Independent X School your child until he’s 7, and they will show you a new country led by woke transgendered leaders á la Rachel Levine and Mark Milley.
The Black@ Campaign was another – “Create the problem, offer the solution” tactic devised by the very organization that oversees accreditation, the private school DEI Industrial Complex, and the Principles of Good Practice. Nicole Brittingham Furlonge, Director of the Klingenstein Center, Teachers College Columbia University, Narrative Medicine Core Collaborator (whatever that means) at Columbia Med School, and former Director of Diversity at St. Andrew’s (Delaware), Lawrenceville, and Princeton Day, led the 2022 NAIS Annual Conference workshop “Listening for Data: Black@ Schools Instagram Text Mining and Evidence-Informed DEI Work in Independent Schools.” She is collaborating with schools “to help them learn how to conduct their own local inquiry into their Black@ accounts to uncover systemic issues” and helps the Klingenstein Center guide NAIS and Independent X School on centering Independent X School not just on the intersectionality of identity, but the intersectionality of DEIJ (“justice”), SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and Klingenstein’s favorite subject – cognitive/neuro-science. The center of the intersection? Equity. Headmaster leadership, curriculum, everything must be “equity” focused. Equity, of course, is equality of outcome regardless of circumstance, merit, or effort – aka Marxism. No time for algebra, Black@ shows Independent X School must dig deeper and spend more $$$ on diversity consultants to accomplish vital tasks – like ensuring equity in the purchase of food for the dining hall. It’s the real moneypox.
If Independent X School wants to prove it cares about its students, NAIS can recommend how to spend its $$$. Fall in line like St. Alban’s signing Glasgow Group to conduct a DEI assessment and institute equitable mani-pedis. Coincidence indeed. While we may never have definitive evidence, the proof is in the pudding.
Summer Redeux – NAIS’ Organized Campaign To Discredit Parents
Then a mere 1 year ago, anonymous parents were treated wholly the opposite than the anonymous alums of color. Where the latter were treated as trustworthy victims, the former were castigated and ridiculed as pouting elitists. It never occurred to anyone that many anonymous parents are alums of color. Who could forget the double punch of articles chronicling the inherent paradox of elite privates alongside the censorship and fear faced by anonymous parents and teachers at Harvard-Westlake, Brentwood, Chapin, Fieldston, Dalton, and Grace Church. Couched in condescending judgment, there was at least some acknowledgment of the overarching repercussions of the woke agenda in elite privates.
We realize there has been more news than we can remember. But when journalists’ bread and butter is exploiting Americans’ schadenfreude at the problems of private school parents, why did these platforms curiously wait until now to revisit the topic? It’s common sense, really. From the Westside to the Upper Eastside, parents are talking about NAIS. The impact we have been making is threatening the bottom line of Big Education, from which both sides profit. The attempt to draw attention from NAIS and discredit parents with suspiciously written pieces by suspiciously positioned parents is just that – suspicious.
Mentioning NAIS before deftly focusing all attention on Boards is a trap. It’s just more gaslighting. Boards matter – yes, but there is a reason Boards are now powerless: NAIS. We know how boards should run and what their duties are. We do not need more bureaucracy and more NAIS direction – that’s how we got into this mess in the first place. Think of NAIS as the Fed. Some time ago, the power of Independent X School was transferred to an unelected opaque organization of self-interested profiteers who disguise themselves as a legitimate part of the system as they set a self-serving agenda that runs the system. There is no oversight over NAIS. Just like Russia is a distraction from China, and Ukraine is a sideshow to the distraction, the focus on Boards is a distraction from NAIS. Do not lose the focus: Independent X School must disassociate from NAIS. Only then do Boards really matter.
We’re Cynical Idealists
Neither “friendly” fire nor the Midterm Variant will keep Mothers down. We will not cower. We will continue to bring honest news for sane parents. Why is there more transparency in John Bolton planning foreign coups than in Independent X School’s budget? Why does asking Independent X School why identity should reign supreme over facts violate Twitter-like censorious “community standards?” Are you going to deal with reality or ignore reality? Inflation is transitory. We’re not in a recession. There are no bank runs in China – those tanks in front of Chinese banks are just trying to break a yuan.
This is our reality. Your silence will not save your family. Your compliance will certainly not secure your child’s admission to Princeton. Independent X School will tell you nothing unless you are vigilant, will acknowledge nothing unless you speak up. Follow the lead of the parents at Poly Prep, Episcopal School of Dallas, and River Oaks Baptist School who are working together to combat insidious programming – like exposing invasive surveys designed to groom our children away from us and our rational values.
You must stand strong. You’re a captain of industry. You were the model for Brett Easton Ellis’ bloodsucking capitalist protagonists. You are the supreme asshole. Are you seriously going to cower to middle management? Independent X School thinks you are a dumb, selfish, coward who has money coming out of your ears. Stop proving them correct. Are you going to let a purportedly nobler-than-thou ed school schmuck tell you that you don’t know anything about anything – least of all budgets, because you’re scared? Man up. Yes, man up. No one likes a beta.
But what do we know, we’re just housewives drinking wine.
Shits & Giggles Corner
Independent X Headmaster warns us against talking about Independent X School…to anyone. Not even the CIA dictates that. Meanwhile faculty in every Independent X School are being told to hire based on a candidate’s race in direct violation of anti-discrimination laws. More than a quarter of the students at Archer School for Girls identified as boys before “transitioning” back to girls within a year. Being straight is frowned upon at Windward and Marlborough. But there is no demagoguery more insidious than religious schools – particularly Episcopal schools like Grace Church, preaching woke identity ideology as the fifth gospel directly in chapel services. Today’s America would shock Caligula.
