New York City’s most elite private schools will attend a “diversity symposium” this week, hosted by a nonprofit critics say perpetuates antisemitic and anti-Western viewpoints while turning the ritzy institutes into “indoctrination centers” by promoting diversity, equity and inclusion for kids starting at the pre-K level.
The stated agenda for the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) Diversity Symposium 2026, kicking off at the Lycée Français De New York on April 9, is to “assess the current state of diversity, equity and inclusion in practice and pose the critically important question: where do we go from here?”
