The following article is an investigative reporter's account and interviews with parents of students attending elite private schools in Los Angeles and NYC. The fear experienced by parents and students who privately dissent from the Marxist indoctrination of critical race theory, white fragility, and demonization of Capitalism is akin to those who lived through Communism in the old Soviet Union.
Our First Amendment is quickly being erased through public shaming, intolerance of dissent, and intimidation. Please read and share widely so we can shine a spotlight on a problem that threatens the very fabric of America.

THE MISEDUCATION OF AMERICA'S ELITES

Affluent parents terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children's private schools, organize in secret.
Affluent parents, terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children’s private schools, organize in secret.
The dissidents use pseudonyms and turn off their videos when they meet for clandestine Zoom calls. They are usually coordinating soccer practices and carpools, but now they come together to strategize. They say that they could face profound repercussions if anyone knew they were talking.
But the situation of late has become too egregious for emails or complaining on conference calls. So one recent weekend, on a leafy street in West Los Angeles, they gathered in person and invited me to join.
In a backyard behind a four-bedroom home, ten people sat in a circle of plastic Adirondack chairs, eating bags of Skinny Pop. These are the rebels: well-off Los Angeles parents who send their children to Harvard-Westlake, the most prestigious private school in the city.
By normal American standards, they are quite wealthy. By the standards of Harvard-Westlake, they are average. These are two-career couples who credit their own success not to family connections or inherited wealth but to their own education. So it strikes them as something more than ironic that a school that costs more than $40,000 a year—a school with Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s right hand, and Sarah Murdoch, wife of Lachlan and Rupert’s daughter-in-law, on its board—is teaching students that capitalism is evil.
For most parents, the demonization of capitalism is the least of it. They say that their children tell them they’re afraid to speak up in class. Most of all, they worry that the school’s new plan to become an “anti-racist institution”—unveiled this July, in a 20-page document—is making their kids fixate on race and attach importance to it in ways that strike them as grotesque.
