@doktork3406 All we had in public school was propaganda, especially anti-Russian propaganda. We had nuclear bomb drills teaching us to hide under our desks. (So much for physics.) We had no real history at all, and little opportunity to read the real classics. (At least we had one or two Shakespeare plays. That was nice. But no one taught us to memorize, and no one told us Shakespeare started out as an actor.) Today, Russia baiting is how CNN and MSNBC make a nice chunk of change. You just want your fairy tales to be dominant. Well, . . .

By reading the whole letter, noticing things he said in it that are false, misleading, or exaggerated, asking to review a sample lesson on race from that school first, and wanting to see what their curriculum is, and whether they follow it, or throw in stuff they don't tell parents about That's how. "Audi alteram partem."

Absolutely read the whole letter. It contains enough half-truths and outright falsehoods to make you question the judgment and credibility of the writer. Perhaps he is simply angry, because, after all, he feels that this (incredibly expensive) school is failing his daughter. He has every right to protest, like everyone else. That doesn't mean he's right. We don't know what is in Brearley's curriculum. We have not seen any of their classes, or examined the books and other materials they assign. Have we? But isn't that what intellectual openness and thinking for oneself means?

How do you know? Have you examined the curriculum for yourself, to see for yourself? Have you sat in on a class, or seen any video presentations, even selected by the school for publication? Have you even read the whole letter? These posts rushing to take a stand against "totalitarianism" that all say the same things in unison without examining anything are not funny any more.
