The headmaster of an elite New York City school who relieved a math instructor of his teaching duties for ripping the institution’s extremist “antiracism” policies in a taped telephone conversation admitted that “we’re demonizing white people for being born.”
“We’re demonizing kids, we’re demonizing white people for being born,” George Davison, principal of the private Grace Church School, told whistleblowing teacher Paul Rossi on audio released via Twitter Tuesday.
“We are using language that makes them feel ‘less than’ — for nothing that they are personally responsible for.”
“The fact is, I am agreeing with you that there has been a demonization that we need to get our hands around in a way in which people are doing this [understand],’’ Davison says.
Rossi was ousted from the classroom over the weekend after he accused the school of “indoctrinating” students with antiracist lessons “at the cost of students’ psychological and intellectual development.”
“The well-being of our community is our first priority, and we take it seriously whenever students raise concerns about the professionalism of a teacher,” Davison wrote in a letter Sunday notifying faculty, staff and administrators that parents had expressed discomfort following Rossi’s public criticism. “It is clear to me that Paul cannot be effective as a teacher at Grace any more. I have informed him that he is relieved of his teaching duties, and we’ve asked two support teachers to take over his math classes for the final quarter. He has been asked to not come into the building without prior coordination.”
“Let me ask you something, George, because I think there’s something very different about having a single experience where you make sense of it, right, and having a teacher, an authority figure, talk to you endlessly, every year, telling you, that because you have whiteness you are associated with evils, all these different evils,” Rossi tells Davison on the excerpt he released.
“These are moral evils, it’s not the same as taking a physical thing, because it doesn’t affect your moral value. That’s the problem.”
Davison replies, “The fact is that I’m agreeing with you that there has been a demonization that we need to get our hands around, in the way in which people are doing this understanding.”
“So, you agree that we’re demonizing kids,” Rossi states.
“We’re demonizing kids,” Davison says. “We’re demonizing white people, for being born.”
“And are some of our students white people?” Rossi asks.
“Yes,” the head of school replies.
“Okay, so we’re demonizing white kids,” Rossi says. “Why don’t you just say it?”
Davison replies, “We are using language that makes them feel less than, for nothing that they are personally responsible for.”
