Columbus Academy refuses to share copies of its race-based curriculum with parents

Incidents


Columbus Academy, a private school in Columbus Ohio with tuition between $26,000-31,000 per year, has introduced controversial curriculum around antiracism. The “Pro-CA” coalition sent a letter to the school signed by 160 parents, students, alumni, and faculty who expressed concerns with this programming and its seeming intolerance towards those who disagreed; in response, the school has been largely unresponsive and has refused to provide parents with copies of the materials in question.

According to the Daily Wire:

  • Elementary students are also being taught in health class that there are 80-plus genders. One gender that the school highlights is “lunagender,” which is defined as a fluid gender identity that changes with the moon. 
  • First-graders at the elite institution were asked to stand in a circle and declare who they would vote for in the 2020 presidential election. 
  • On the first day of the 2020-21 school year, an English teacher informed his class that if any students supported President Donald Trump, he would prefer not to know because he did not believe he would be able to speak with them.
