snip"With around 30 students enrolled, Southside Family Charter School switched to online learning after conservative news articles and social media posts seized upon the school’s social justice focus."

snip-"The threats to Southside Family Charter School came after New York Post articles describing the school’s social justice focus and a series of social media posts from right-wing commentators."


snip-"A New York Post article published Jan. 9, entitled “Renee Nicole Good’s 6-year-old son attends ‘social justice’ school that teaches about George Floyd, warned staffers to report ICE,” spurred a right-wing backlash.

The article detailed the school’s focus on social justice, its stance against racism, sexism, classism and homophobia, its fondness for field trips, and its discussions of current events with students. It also said that teachers had been instructed to report any ICE presence — a common instruction at schools, where teachers are not trained on interacting with federal agents. In a separate article, the Post reported that Good became involved in anti-ICE activity through people she’d met at the school."
