Well the opposite is true as well. They're paying $50k to send their kids somewhere, they should get a say in how those schools are run. They're the customer. They have every right to complain about the product they're paying for, and to try to get it the way they want it.Here's the way I see it:
1.) Going to a prep school affords the student a better chance of getting into a great college than they would otherwise achieve with the same performance in a public school.
2.) Part of the "cost" of #1 is that the elite universities do more ideological gatekeeping wrt those prep schools.
3.) This LA private school is only reacting to the biases of elite college admissions. Private prep schools don't sell education as much as they sell entry into elite universities.
4.) Based on #3, I'd say parents arguing against ostentatious displays of wokeness don't understand the forces they are up against.
