Dude must be having psychotic breakdown. Read a few of these threats the owner made to families in different forums and platforms. Family better take him to see a professional before he loses it all.

He should have told them they were not welcome to return the following year and let them finish out this year, not kick three children out in March because he was unhappy that their parents had concerns.
This Ken’s MO. He threatened to kick our child with only 6 weeks left of the school year. We basically had to grovel to let our child finish out the year. The psychological damage it would’ve caused our child was not worth standing up to his bullying. We have since told everyone who will listen what a narcissistic prick he is and to avoid the school at all costs.

Anyone who’d send their kids to a school that held itself out for the longest time as the “Nysmith School for the Gifted” deserves exactly what they got. Couldn’t be more pretentious or waiving a bigger red flag.

That’s probably why current families are silent. They don’t want their kids targeted.

I probably wouldn’t speak up either. He’d kick out my kid mid-year.

It’s definitely telling a lot about how the school targets children, thus ensuring compliance from parents. That’s the only clear lesson to be learned.

For those of us who canceled our WaPo subscriptions in light of Bezos’ censorship perhaps someone could use a gift link or summarize what was said?
What did the parents do that makes them colossal bullies? What suggests they are misrepresenting what happened?
So, you don’t want to fund the weapons because bezos controls the editorial page, and you want the paper to shut down even though you are desperate for the reporting the journalists do? Make it make sense.
You’re just cheap.

Why haven’t you mentioned the genocide in Sudan? How about the slaughter of Druze in Syria? How about the slaughter of Jews in Israel on October 7th? How about the genocide of Uyghurs? How about the slaughter of over 500,000 people in Syria?
Dp. America is literally responsible for the genocide in Gaza. While all of humanity bears responsibility for helping those in need, this thread is not about all of the genocides. Your what about ism is really transparent.
Not to mention - why does the fact that people are being killed in genocides or violence around the world mean that we shouldn’t care about or try to prevent or work to punish “lesser” bad things that happen here? Me eating all my dinner never helped the starving children in wherever that my mother always mentioned if I didn’t clean my plate, and condemning acts of antisemitism against schoolchildren will neither help nor hurt the people of Gaza.

I am not Jewish but I don’t see how those two events together don’t create the perception of an anti-Semitic environment.
Eager to read whatever Nysmith has to say for himself as this develops.
Sorry but this is ridiculous. You want to avoid hanging a Palestinian flag to avoid “emotionally harming” Jews? Utter nonsense.
Then hang the Israeli flag too.
It's been up for years. This is a space where many national flags are already hanging. This part of the complaint is really petty and idiotic and reflects poorly on the parents. They should have kept it out and focused on all the legitimate issues they're facing.
