Parents, donors and alumni of Harpeth Hall, an all-girls school in Nashville, Tennessee, have threatened to withdraw their donations. In addition, they are demanding the resignation of several school officials who, according to them, were facilitators of political activism and division, reads the article of the V4NA news agency, which Magyar Nemzet .
The call from parents, alumni and donors comes shortly after the girls' school announced that boys who identify as girls will be allowed to attend in the future. However, the outrage was so great that the school was forced to withdraw and announced that they would not allow transgender students to be admitted to the institution.
However, the parents were not satisfied with that. In the open letter, they wrote that their trust in the board - and in several key officials - had been broken. They believe the board and management are more focused on political activism than their daughters' education.
The letter continues:
Based on your handling of this recent gender policy announcement, we do not have confidence in the ability of any current members of the board or administration to correct this issue. Today we are calling for the resignation of the administration and board members who have supported or facilitated political activism and division
- reads the indignant tone of the letter.

According to the V4NA news agency, the signatories also stated that they will withhold all financial contributions until the school fulfills the demands of parents, alumni and donors. They have lost confidence in the school so much that they are also demanding that they themselves delegate the head of the board of directors to the institution.
It is no wonder that the school tried to succumb to the progressive gender frenzy, as the school belongs to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
In many cases, the schools belonging to it have been found to impose "queer curriculum" and transgender ideology on their students, including kindergarteners.
With nearly 1,800 member schools, NAIS is a proponent of critical race theory and holds an annual People of Color Conference. Harpeth Hall school also sends teachers and staff to the conference every year, the paper added.
