Fancy School Doesn't Want Everyone to Attend

The New York Post reports:

March 19, 2006 -- CLASS warfare is threatening to break out at the Episcopal School, the East 69th Street institution that sits at the apex of Manhattan's private pre-school pyramid.

Parents at the pricey nursery are up in arms about the "quality" of the families whose kids are being accepted, and are blaming the director of admissions, Judith Blanton, for her more inclusionary policies.

"Parents don't like that Judith brought in 'white trash' like me," one self-deprecating parent told Page Six. "The parents on the board are upset because there are families turning down Episcopal for the first time to go to other schools. Apparently, it's because there are middle-class people in the school." And, the parent added, "There's a petition to get her out because of the quality of the people in the school."

Pia and Christopher Getty, Harvey and Eve Weinstein , Jann and Jane Wenner, Ronald Perelman and Patricia Duff, Jerry Della Femina and Judy Licht, and Edgar Jr. and Clarissa Bronfman have all sent their 4-year-olds to Episcopal to the tune of $17,000 a year.

It apppears not everyone really is a liberal.It appears not everyone is really for public education and diversity.
