NYC Prep School Parents Outraged by ‘Sexuality Workshop’ Forced Upon Students
Last fall parents at a NYC prep school costing $55,000 per year complained their first-graders were being taught sex-education lessons that included masturbation. Just last week we reported on the same “health and wellness” educator, Justine Ang Fonte, teaching a “porn literacy” workshop at another elite prep school. And now, the Dalton prep school is being “bombarded” by parents with even more complaints on Fonte’s curriculum, reports The Post.
When parents had complained to administrators in the past, they were simply told they “misinterpreted” Dalton’s teachings. “We are not ‘confused,’ We are in fact just seeing very clearly for the first time what a ‘progressive’ education really means at Dalton,” said one mother. “The fact that the school then gaslit parents into thinking we are confused is abysmal” the mother added.
Fonte’s curriculum enveloped in sex, pornography and masturbation is reportedly funded by a $450,000 grant given to Dalton in 2012 by hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Foundation. Ackman’s ex-wife Karen is on the Dalton board of trustees.
The New York Post reports of the horrifying academics:
The Post viewed video of a cartoon Fonte used in one of her sex ed classes for 6-year-olds showing little kids talking about “touching themselves” for pleasure.
“Hey, how come sometimes my penis gets big sometimes and points in the air?” asks the little boy in the cartoon, leading to an explanation of what an “erection” is.
The boy nods and says, “Sometimes I touch my penis because it feels good.”
Then the little girl character chimes in: “Sometimes, when I’m in my bath or when Mom puts me to bed, I like to touch my vulva too.”
Fonte has reassured parents that she does not use the word “masturbation” in class, and that her lessons teach kids not to touch themselves in public.
They are also taught lessons about “consent.” While one mother conceded that teaching the concept of consent can be valuable in protecting children from abuse, another said telling kids that their own parents or grandparents should not touch them without first asking for permission is extreme.
“Literally parents are supposed to say to their kids, May I hug you?” one parent said.
One mother said another parent told her, “I’m paying $50,000 to these a–holes to tell my kid not to let her grandfather hug her when he sees her?”
Fonte’s lessons for first-graders also include subjects such as gender assigned at birth, gender identity and gender expression.
“Kids have no less than five classes on gender identity — this is pure indoctrination,” a Dalton mother said. “This person should absolutely not be teaching children. Ironically, she teaches kids about ‘consent’ yet she has never gotten consent from parents about the sexually explicit, and age-inappropriate material about transgender to first-graders.”
“We are furious,” a third Dalton mother told The Post.
“We were horrified to learn this was shown to our first-grade 6- and 7-year-old kids without our knowledge or consent. But it’s so hard to fight back because you’ll get canceled and your child will suffer.”
The second Dalton mother said, “I’m not against all sex education but it’s not cool to keep parents in the dark about it.”
