One education consultant confirms that some of the city’s top private schools now ask about a child’s gender identity and preferred pronouns on their kindergarten admissions applications.
The schools — with kindergarten tuition north of $60,000 — shamelessly boast about the instruction in their online course materials.
Dalton’s First Program for grades K-3 on East 91st Street on the Upper East Side promises a curriculum that teaches “races” and “gender expressions.”
There, even the youngest students will “develop an appreciation for, and value the importance of diversity by directly addressing issues of fairness, gender equity, and social justice,” according to the Dalton website.
