[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, Their Eyes Were Watching God (written in the 1930s) is by a black woman, which I assume is antithetical to your racist bias.[/quote]
See, as a prospective applicant, I am eager to read concrete refutations of what that poster (or are there multiple?) is saying.  But then you go ahead immediately impute some sort of bias/moral failing to your fellow Brearley parent and imply that b/c of their critique they don't belong there.  Which is pretty much exactly the attitude that the poster is railing about.  We are a pretty progressive family, but I don't want my daughter to be educated in an environment where this sort of attitude is normalized.  But if you think that person is saying false things about the administration changes, could you (or anyone else) comment specifically as to what happened?[/quote]

Sorry, you're right.  I assumed ulterior motive because of the flat out lying about the curriculum.  That is my bad (though not entirely without basis when further upthread the poster was saying respected authors have been replaced by "slam poets" -- there seemed to be some racial undertones to comments like that).  In any event, my post was more directed to the false info related to what books the kids read in upper school.  Also, the poster said the Brearley upper schoolers don't have text books, but again I know for a fact that that claim is false as I have seen the Worlds Together, Worlds Apart textbook with my own eyes.[/quote]
