In the wake of George Floyd s killing last year, the racial reckoning of the Black at movement spread across Instagram. Black alumni and current students of independent, private schools stretching across the country including The Lovett School, Sidwell Friends, Dalton School, Brearley, Chapin, Spence School, and more shared their painful stories, detailing their racialized traumatic experiences as students, which for many began in elementary school on their predominantly white campuses.
With over 250 accounts representing schools from over 27 states, the Black at movement will be cemented as a seminal moment at the intersection of education, social media, and racial injustice, bringing attention to the systemic, institutionalized anti-Black racism as the foundation on which these schools were built.

Colleges have been fertile fields of woke craziness for years now. Just a few recent examples: Middlebury College Professor Jonathan Miller-Lane claims that “To preserve American democracy, Whiteness must be demilitarized so that bodies designated as ‘White’ might become human.” A Washington and Lee University law professor insists that votes of black Americans should be counted twice as a form of “voter reparations.” Not to be outdone, students, alumni, and faculty at Assumption University, a Catholic school in Massachusetts, have attacked the school’s promotion of Catholic social teaching on marriage and abortion.
Shortly after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic last year, Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York managed to enrage much of the Jewish community with a single tweet.
After witnessing a large funeral in the Orthodox neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, last April, de Blasio warned “the Jewish community, and all communities” that police would take extreme measures to enforce social-distancing restrictions prohibiting public gatherings. Many Orthodox leaders took offense to the singling out of their community and this particular funeral rather than cracking down on crowds in public parks. And others, across New York and the country, were infuriated by what they saw as “scapegoating” of all Jews based on the behavior of one sect.
