Elite Private Schools Only Hire White Teachers. What If It's Not Their Fault?
There are elite boarding schools today that have job ads for teachers which state "white only" in the ad. This is happening today, in 2022. That might seem hard to believe, but according to this Businessweek feature article, not only is it commonplace amongst top level international schools, it is not even being hidden.
Your first reaction upon reading this story may be to blame the schools. How can they practice racism in such a brazen way? It turns out the real architects of this policy are wealthy entitled parents (often expats) who demand that their children are only educated by white teachers.
Parents of children in these schools should be ashamed of their community and the lesson their insistence sends to their kids. This is a despicable case study of systemic racism at its worst ... literally taught to children in schools.
