A math teacher who was pulled from his classes at Grace Church School after criticizing the school's anti-racism policies released audio Tuesday of an explosive phone call in which he claims that 'we're demonizing white people for being born.'
Paul Rossi, the teacher, released on Twitter Tuesday morning a conversation with head of school George Davison that occurred March 2. The two are apparently talking about how authority figures were making white students feel inherently racist due to woke movement going around schools these days.
Let me ask you something, George, because I think there's something very different about having a single experience where you make sense of it, right, and having a teacher, an authority figure, talk to you endlessly, every year, telling you, that because you have whiteness you are associated with evils, all these different evils,' Rossi tells him on the excerpt he released.
'These are moral evils, it's not the same as taking a physical thing, because it doesn't affect your moral value. That's the problem.'
Davison replies, 'The fact is that I'm agreeing with you that there has been a demonization that we need to get our hands around, in the way in which people are doing this understanding.'
'So you agree that we're demonizing kids,' Rossi states.
'We're demonizing ki,' Davison says before cutting himself off. Then he adds, 'We're demonizing white people, for being born.'
'And are some of our students white people?' Rossi asks.
' Yes,' the head of school replies.
'Okay, so we're demonizing white kids,' Rossi says. 'Why don't you just say it?'
Davison replies, 'We are using language that makes them feel less than, for nothing that they are personally responsible for.'
