Former Fox News and NBC News host Megyn Kelly said that she has pulled her two sons out of their “woke” Upper West Side New York City school after a letter about racism was circulated at the school, which faculty were asked to read
On a November 16 episode her podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly talked about the letter, entitled “If You Really Want to Make a Difference in Black Lives, Change How You Teach White Kids.” Nahliah Webber, the executive director of the Orleans Public Education Network, published the letter in June, and it’s been widely circulated since.
Kelly said that schools, including the one her sons attended, have “gone around the bend…gone off the deep end.” She went on to read what she called “highlights” from the letter, including a line that states “there’s a killer cop sitting in every school where White children learn…Where’s the urgency for school reform for White kids being indoctrinated in Black death and protected from the consequences?”
Kelly asked: “Which boy in my kids’ school is the future killer cop? Is it my boy?” after reading the letter.
On the podcast, Kelly said that she viewed the school’s statement and circulation of the letter as an “attempt to appease” student groups that have formed after George Floyd was killed in May.
Kelly did not identify the school her sons attended, or the all-girls school her daughter attends, but did say that she "didn't really care" that her children's schools had always been far-left, out of alignment with her own ideology. She also said most of her friends are liberals, so she is not offended by liberal ideas.
She also did not say where the family will move. Kelly did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
