NYC school responds after head of school caught on tape admitting equity curricula demonizes White people

Grace Church School (GCS) in Manhattan is defending its head of school, who the school says is "taking responsibility" after audio surfaced with him admitting that equity lessons were demonizing White people.

"The partial recordings of George Davison, our Head of School, have caused hurt and confusion within our community, and he takes responsibility for any mistaken impression his comments have created," reads a message from the school. "These were excerpts of a larger conversation with a disgruntled member of the faculty with whom George has deep disagreements — but with whom he was nonetheless trying to find common ground in an attempt to reason together." The statement adds: "George and the school remain steadfast in our commitment to combatting racism, consistent with our values — building an inclusive community committed to educational excellence and equity."
