private school in uproar over plan to 'segregate' students by race
The Little Red School House in New York’s West Village, which has tuition fees of $45,485 per year, told parents last month that non-white middle school students will be placed in the same homeroom in the fall, theNew York Post reported.
They learned that the race-based placement, implemented by Director Philip Kassen, already had been in effect for seventh and eighth graders during the 2017-18 school year.
The historically progressive school reportedly counts the children of celebrities including David Schwimmer and Christy Turlington Burns among its student body.
Kassen did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.
The New York Post reports that each grade, which has approximately 40 students, has two homerooms. Students remain with their homeroom groups for 30 percent of the school day.
