[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any parents currently have their kiddos in Nysmith? Please chime in to offer your perspective[/quote]

There's a thread on Reddit where at least one parent of currently enrolled students discussed the issue.

I think most people with past or present ties to the school are being very quiet on purpose. [/quote]

Well, yes. It reflects badly on them to stay with this information out there. [/quote]

So your position is not only should everyone leave the school on the basis of allegations that have not been in any way been proven but that by not leaving they are somehow morally besmirched? Because that’s nuts. [/quote]

I am not saying they should leave but I am stating the truth: it reflects badly on them to stay. If you are okay with a school where the head of school is defending smiling children standing around a giant picture of Hitler that those kids drew, well, it reflects on you. And that’s why they are quiet.

The picture is not in doubt. That’s not alleged or denied. [/quote]

Are the children smiling? In the pic I’ve seen they are appropriately blurred. Also, the plaintiffs stayed despite that photo until they were kicked out ( perhaps for legit reasons or for bad and/or antisemitic reasons, I have no idea!)[/quote]

It is unclear when the plaintiffs learned of the photo.

Whether they are smiling or not is unimportant—it’s a picture of a lot of kids around a giant Hitler they drew. That’s what the school permits. You can stay in that environment as a family, of course, but you can’t control what other people think about that choice. [/quote]

You’re really talking yourself into a corner here, pp. and fwiw I am completely, unreservedly prepared to believe the hos is both a prima Donna and an antisemite!

However, the idea that being photographed next to an image of Hitler regardless of context is beyond the pale  (and context in this case seems to be an ill advised Machiavellian trait project) is is a non starter.[/quote]

Okay, then there is no reason for current parents to be silent. They should be out there celebrating the school and their children’s attendance there. [/quote]
