Dad who wrote scathing letter to Brearley about race focus: ‘Someone had to’
“I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. I cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs. By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race.”
"A father fed up with an elite Manhattan prep school’s heavy-handed focus on race won’t re-enroll his daughter in the fall, accusing the school of trying to “brainwash” kids with woke philosophies rather than teaching them how to think on their own.
"In a scathing 1,700-word letter Andrew Gutmann mailed to 650 families — a screed since gone viral — he blasted the posh, all-girls Brearley School’s “cowardly and appalling lack of leadership [for] appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob.”
"The April 13 missive — published this week on journalist Bari Weiss’ blog — became public the same day the headmaster of the famed Dalton School resigned over controversial “anti-racism” curriculum and policies that had outraged many parents.
"Chelsea Clinton, Tina Fey, Drew Barrymore and Steve Martin are among those with daughters enrolled at Brearley. Tuition is $54,000 per year. Famous alumnae of the 761-student, K-12 school include Caroline Kennedy, Jill Clayburgh, Téa Leoni and Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
"Gutmann’s treatise listed 10 “objections” and generally decried the Upper East Side institution’s obsession with race.
“ 'By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” he wrote, saying the policies encourage kids to judge, and be judged, by the color of their skin." . . .
The letter: "This letter is a must-read.
"Friday, Bari Weiss posted a letter written by Andrew Gutman, explaining why he pulled his daughter out of Brearley School. Gutman sent the letter to nearly 600 families whose children are enrolled in the private school.
"Brearley is an all-girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It takes $54,000 a year to attend along with a bogus “anti-racism pledge,” per Weiss.
"You can accurately guess from the pledge that the school isn’t about ending racism, but demanding its students develop a narrow, only see people by their skin color mindset.

Sean Lennon Blasts 'Woke' Leftists: 'Whites Are Not the Problem'; Political correctness has resulted in a racist backlash
"I literally saw political correctness being invented right in front of me (at certain schools) and then distributed and eventually enforced as a mindset and ideology," he explained.
Sean Ono Lennon gave a brutal critique of political correctness emanating from the 'woke' left in a series of tweets.
Lennon, who is the son of late Beatles icon John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, said political correctness has triggered a racist backlash and, as a result, has made race relations worse.
Lennon tweeted:
"When I was young ppl used to say racist s*** about Asians around me all the time and then be like 'Oh sorry!"
"But you're not reeeally Asian so…' and I think they sincerely thought that would make me feel better.
"I'm not exactly sure why I brought that up but I think it's because I want to say that I grew up in a time when there was zero political correctness.". . .

RedState "While our president is doing interviews with drag-queen Youtubers and answering questions about skin care, there are real problems going on out in the world. Most of that responsibility has fallen to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has attempted to reinstall the Obama world order of weakness and chaos in record time.
"Blinken has already been embarrassed by China after bending the knee to their human rights abuses, citing cultural differences. Apparently, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t impressed either. He threw down the gauntlet over the Iran issue, letting it be known that Israel won’t stand by while the Mullahs get nuclear weapons.
"Here’s the statement via Fox News.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that the United States should avoid rejoining the Iran nuclear deal, one of President Biden’s campaign promises.
“I can tell you that I hope that the United States will not go back to the old JCPOA because we believe that that deal paves the way for Iran to have an arsenal of nuclear weapons with international legitimacy,” Netanyahu said, referencing the acronym for the nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
“ 'We also reiterated that whatever happens, Israel will always reserve the right to defend itself against a regime committed to our destruction, committed to getting the weapons of mass destruction for that end,” the Israeli prime minister added." .
Rand Paul receives chilling death threat as white powder and pic of him with RIFLE to his head sent to Senator’s home
UK Sun "SENATOR Rand Paul received a mysterious package filled with white powder at his Kentucky home on Monday, prompting the FBI to investigate its contents and the threatening image that came with it.
"The Republican received an enveloped with a photo of himself bruised and bandaged. Next to Paul's face on the image include a gun to his head with the words: "I'll finish what your neighbor started you motherf----r."
. . . "The image itself was referring to a 2017 assault on Paul by his neighbor Rene Boucher.
"Boucher broke five of Paul's ribs and eventually pled guilty to assaulting a Congressmember.
"In August last year, Paul and his wife Kelley had a close call when a group of people surrounded them as they ventured back to their hotel room after the Republican National Convention.
"Paul also was in the news this week for saying he would not be getting the Covid-19 vaccine." . . .
Kelley Paul Unleashes on Dems for Encouraging Violence Against Her Husband . . . "Even more than that, Kelley Paul shouldn’t have to see Democrats and liberal blue-check Twitter encouraging violence against her husband or cheering attacks against him without any consequence for their actions, as she explains. Not even a Twitter suspension. She names names and goes after a Democratic PAC she thinks has been promoting some of this." . . .
Just this weekend. For years people like @BetteMidler have cheered Rand’s horrific attack and serious injuries. The former teacher of the year @RodRobinsonRVA tweeted that Rand’s attacker was a “hero” and urged Mitch McConnell’s neighbors to “step up”. Why is he still teaching?
. . . Robinson said it was a “bad joke” and he’s still teaching.
"That was only one of the attacks on Paul. Paul was also at the GOP baseball practice that was shot up by a Bernie Bro trying to kill Republicans. Paul and his wife were also pushed around and threatened by a BLM crowd last year. " Read more here

DeSantis Torches Reporter, Asks Why Iran Leader Allowed To ‘Talk About Killing Jews’ On Social Media But Trump Is Banned

| Tony Branco |
Daily Caller "Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis torched a reporter Monday who asked whether the governor signed a Big Tech censorship bill because of former President Donald Trump.
" 'You’re loyal to former President Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is now a resident in Florida and he was de-platformed,” the unidentified reporter asks. “Is this bill for him?”
" 'The bill is for everyday Floridians, this is what we’ve said and it will allow any Floridian to be able to provide what they’re doing. But I do think that’s another issue that has been brought to bear: when you de-platform the president of the United States but you let Ayatollah Khomeini talk about killing Jews, that is wrong,” DeSantis said, referring to the Supreme Leader of Iran.
"The crowd went into thunderous applause in response.
"DeSantis‘ remarks received a standing ovation and a barrage of cheers and support." . . .

Biden State Dept. Urging U.S. Embassies to Fly BLM Flags to Mark 1-Year Anniversary of George Floyd’s Death
The memo, signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, said the United States would be among “many in the international community” honoring the career criminal.
. . . " Additionally, the radical organization’s “Defund the Police” agitation has led to a massive surge in violent crime throughout the nation.
"No less an authority than former Attorney General William Barr last year characterized Black Lives Matter “a revolutionary group” that agitates a far-left agenda using fascistic tactics.
" 'They are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism,” Barr told Mark Levin on Fox News, last summer. “They’re essentially Bolsheviks. Their tactics are fascistic,” he said.
"The Biden administration is reportedly planning to have the revolutionary Marxist group celebrated at U.S. outposts around the world.
"The State Department guidance is encouraging BLM-related displays within the interior, or exterior of the mission, including banners over doors, BLM spotlights, BLM projections, and BLM flags on flagpoles, according to the memo." . . .
Biden Has Faith Crisis As Catholic Church Campaigns Against Him
"Biden is such a person writ large. He rejects Church teachings on abortion, marriage, sex and gender and is hostile to religious liberty. He embraces the most pro-abortion and anti-religious liberty public policy program in history. The case against honoring him is immeasurably stronger than it was against honoring President Obama, an action that alienated countless Catholics and brought upon Notre Dame the harsh criticism of 83 cardinals, archbishops and bishops.” [Source: Daily Wire]

The Bearded Patriot "Throughout his political career, Joe Biden has often touted his Catholic faith. That sounds real nice, right? A politician who cares deeply about spiritual matters, even a religion that has been around for 2,000 years.
"But is Biden as good of a Catholic as he claims to be? There’s more to be a Catholic than attending mass, right? And just because someone says they believe something—doesn’t mean that they do. (Especially career politicians, who will say anything to win an election.)
"It seems for Biden, Catholicism might be more of a tool to advance his career, than a deeply-held personal faith. At least, that’s what many leaders in the church seem to believe. Recently, prominent bishops have called out Catholic Democrats, for their support of issues that conflict with the church. Most notably, abortion.
"Some have urged the church to deny them Communion. The latest development was a petition, signed by thousands of Notre Dame students and faculty, demanding Biden be barred from attending their commencement. And it looks like they had their way.
Sources at the White House claimed the school had invited Biden to speak, but said the nation’s second Roman Catholic president is unable to attend because of a scheduling conflict…

We all knew that Obama was an anti-Semite. It appears Biden shares his anti-Israel sentiment to the point of openly betraying the Jewish state. . . . "What a difference four months can make. President Trump was the best friend Israel ever had in the White House. Biden is the most dangerous enemy. That most members of his party in Congress are comfortable hanging Israel out to dry is horrifying.
"As if his silence on the growing attacks on Jews here and in Europe were not dispiriting enough, Biden has hired a known advocate for Islamic terrorists, Hina Shamsi, into his administration to help "crackdown [sic] on extremism in the military." She and several others of her ilk join SecDef Lloyd Austin and his "hatchet man," Bishop Garrison. All of the above are determined to purge our military and all other institutions of "extremists," those who supported the presidency of Donald Trump, the man who rebuilt the military and restored common sense to our defense forces." . . .
Democrat Tlaib
The Republican Party is chock-full of cowards, as we saw last week when 35 of them voted for the Jan. 6 commission, which is sure to be a partisan operation as phony as the Mueller faux investigation was. That they choose to defend Hamas over Israel tells us everything we need to know about who they are. The Democrats may stick together and fight as a unit more than Republicans ever do, but their ranks are full of cowards, too. Their cowards are now proven anti-Semites, and anti-Semitism is a disease. . . .
