The New York Times star and 1619 Project architect decided her daughter Najya needed to be enrolled in struggling Brooklyn public schools as a moral “sacrifice” to the cause — never mind the family’s money, connections, or the fact that the classrooms in question were already failing large numbers of kids on the basics. The experiment delivered exactly what anyone outside the faculty lounge could have predicted: a teenager who fell behind, realized she’d been shortchanged on purpose, and asked her parents why other people’s talking points mattered more than her education.
Hannah-Jones now says she failed both her values and her child. The values were optional. The child wasn’t supposed to notice.
This is simply horrific:
Woke NYT, 1619 Project writer deliberately sent daughter to troubled schools as a 'sacrifice' - and it backfired spectacularly https://t.co/qrn4StRaEK pic.twitter.com/1u25nVsgzJ

From the New York Post:
The writer behind the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project deliberately sent her daughter to poor Big Apple schools as a “sacrifice” to try to boost the education system — and no one is angrier than the kid.
The teen is now “boiling” mad — badly behind her peers after finally being allowed to enroll in a more rigorous high school, her mother revealed in a bombshell bizarre essay.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, 50, enrolled her only child in two struggling Brooklyn public schools beginning in 2015 — as part of a battle to change what she characterized as systemic racism, despite having the “connections and time and status” to get the girl into the city’s best schools, she wrote in the Times Magazine on Sunday.

Woke is not only stupid, it's dangerous.
If they will intentionally harm their own children to advance their cause, imagine what they’ll do to YOUR children. https://t.co/QuzMkSx5qY

Bingo.
So not only has her work has an educator harmed the entire school system, she deliberately sabotaged her own daughters education so she could gain woke points in her career. pic.twitter.com/3MJPOBTy8q

Turns out she's even worse than we thought. Huh.
I don’t understand the logic that sending your child to a low performing school will improve the school somehow. Did she think her daughter had magical powers?

They’re willing to harm their own children. Imagine what they’re going to do to yours.
