In late June, after eighth-graders at a posh New York City Upper East Side school were shown a video of white women being ridiculed for being white, irate parents excoriated the school for having permitted the incident, prompting the principal, Bodie Brizendine, to offer an apology.
But one parent, reportedly supported by other parents, fired back a letter at the principal and the school board, stating, “’While I was upset after hearing what happened at Spence, the email from Bodie that followed really pushed me over the edge. Further, that the board has not weighed in on this matter gives the impression that the board shares the opinion that racism is indeed acceptable as long as it fits within the climate of the times,” according to The New York Post.
