A whistleblowing teacher who ripped off her Manhattan private school for “progressive” students for highly progressive politics was removed from her class for the rest of the year – as the teacher expressed doubts about the school’s private curriculum accused of.
Employee Paul Rossi had a spark with an essay at Grace Church School last week, which accused administrators of spreading dissatisfaction and fixing on race.
School spokesman Topher Nichols said Monday that Rossi had been barred from teaching for the year because many students were uncomfortable with her appearance and asked to be removed from her class.
Nichols said Rossi refused to renew a contract for next year, but would remain on the payroll for the rest of the term.
They will be offered a spot in a new task force that will test school practices.
But the teacher hit back at the head of school in an email to George Davison on Monday – questioning his boss in private, accusing him of reading progressive mantras in public.
Rossi wrote in a letter, “In support of those who are essentially paying to speak, seeing what I am now paying to speak, I have to be silent to see.” He was posted online.
Grace Boss told Rossi that she “had serious doubts about some antics that provoke us in the name of antisemitism,” the teacher wrote.
Rossi said he told Davison that the school was in a position to intensify educational decay – and alleged that its owner, according to the missile, echoes that alarm.
Davison, who is leaving Grace at the end of the next school year, also expressed reservations about what he saw as a collective tiring of white students, Rossi claimed.
He was allegedly quoted as saying that Davison was “demonstrating to whites to be born” and that white children “feel that they are not personally responsible for it”.
Rossi wrote, “While I may not know for some, I suspect you have not shared these concerns with the wider Grace community because you know exactly what happens.” “This is what’s happening to me right now.”
But Davison denied those claims in Rossi’s response.
“We disagree and he will remain,” he wrote back on Monday.
He said, “You misunderstood me and held me responsible for things I had never said nor would I ever say in the press.” Your actions were unprofessional and I still defended your authority as a point. I will not go into a point by point rebuttal in the email because I know you are not trustworthy given your past performance. “
Similar disputes have exploded in the open in recent weeks at many of Manhattan’s most specialized private schools.
In a long essay, Andrew Gutman, the father of the Briarley School, accused the administrators of “being cowardly and of lacking leadership” [for] Pleasing an anti-intellectual, rude crowd. ”
At Dalton School, longtime head James Best announced his exit last week amid an ongoing internal war in the school’s embrace of progressive politics.
