âItâs been a year of unprecedented, transformational change for the Recording Academy, and Iâm immensely proud to be able to continue our journey of growth with these latest updates to our awards process,â Harvey Mason Jr., the academyâs interim president and CEO, said in a statement Friday.

One of the most prestigious private schools in the nation, based in Manhattan, hosted an LGBTQ+ “Ally Week” for students last week.
Marymount School of New York, a pre-K through 12 all-girls Catholic institution with a tuition near $54,000 per year in the elite Upper East Side of New York City, hosted four days of leftist gender theory indoctrination. Each day had a theme. The themes, in order, were “Sexuality & Gender,” “LGBTQ+ history and important figures!” “How To Be An Ally,” and a “Day of Silence.”
Ally Week was hosted by “Prism,” a campus group that hosts “Bias Awareness Day” in addition to Ally Week and “aims to increase awareness about sexuality and gender diversity within Marymount and in the greater community.” Jacqueline André, a French teacher who serves as an advisor for the group, did not respond to a request for comment.
