Education has been completely captured by the Left.
Public schools are now labs of “woke” indoctrination.
And parents were excluded from a school event for a shocking reason.
Most people admit that colleges have been entirely overtaken by radical leftists.
But far fewer are willing to admit that K-12 schools are just as badly infested, if not more so.
The standards for many of these schools are abysmal.
Now an expensive private school in Connecticut welcomed parents to an event so long as they were nonwhite.
National Review reported that “Greenwich Country Day School (GCDS), a private school in Greenwich, Conn., sent a letter to the families of students on Monday inviting them to a back-to-school event, so long as they identify as a racial minority. ‘The annual Cider and Donuts event is open to GCDS families who identify as Black, Asian, Latinx, multi-racial, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, and/or people of color’…The letter was addressed to ‘GCDS families’ and was signed by the director and associate director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Above the description of the event, scheduled for October 8, it mentioned the importance of ‘building an inclusive, just and equitable community reflecting the multitude of human identities and perspectives in our world.’”
Parents need to understand that DEI is a cult and an immediate red flag.
Anyone who is a DEI specialist or aggressively promotes it is a trained neo-Marxist activist.
Not all Communists are DEI specialists, but all DEI specialists are Communists.
This is an immediate sign that Greenwich Country Day School has been infiltrated and compromised, just as so many other schools have been.
Republicans in the state called foul on the obvious discrimination.

School headmaster Adam Rhodie said he was “disappointed” in the letter, and said it was not correctly phrased.
Rhodie explained, “I think there are ways we could change the language a little bit in the letter…If any family wanted to attend they would be welcome to attend. We celebrate community throughout the year, and we provide opportunity for affinity groups and families of students with common interests and backgrounds and experiences…If a Country Day family wants to take issue with this, I’m excited to sit down and have a cup of coffee with them.”
If all families were welcome to the event, it would’ve been easy to say that all families were welcome.
But DEI activists are essentially trained operatives.
They don’t want an inclusive environment; they want a political environment where they make all of the rules and enforce them.
The letter was essentially a smoke signal.
