The math teacher who was pulled from his classes at Grace Church School after criticizing the school’s anti-racism policies released audio Tuesday of an explosive phone call in which the head of school made an astonishing admission – that ‘we’re demonizing white people for being born.’

Paul Rossi, the teacher, released the audio on Twitter Tuesday morning of a phone conversation with George Davison that he said occurred March 2. The two are apparently talking about the whole woke movement in schools and how authority figures are making white students feel inherently racist.

‘Let me ask you something, George, because I think there’s something very different about having a single experience where you make sense of it, right, and having a teacher, an authority figure, talk to you endlessly, every year, telling you, that because you have whiteness you are associated with evils, all these different evils,’ Rossi tells him on the excerpt he released.

‘These are moral evils, it’s not the same as taking a physical thing, because it doesn’t affect your moral value. That’s the problem.’

Davison replies, ‘The fact is that I’m agreeing with you that there has been a demonization that we need to get our hands around, in the way in which people are doing this understanding.’

‘So you agree that we’re demonizing kids,’ Rossi states.

‘We’re demonizing ki,’ Davison says before cutting himself off. Then he adds, ‘We’re demonizing white people, for being born.’

‘And are some of our students white people?’ Rossi asks.

‘ Yes,’ the head of school replies.

‘Okay, so we’re demonizing white kids,’ Rossi says. ‘Why don’t you just say it?’

Davison replies, ‘We are using language that makes them feel less than, for nothing that they are personally responsible for.

Rossi said that despite being forced out of the classroom, several people at the school have offered him words of support.

‘There are many who were privately sympathetic with my concerns,’ he told DailyMail.com shortly after releasing the audio.

‘And I don’t blame them for not doing even close to what I did. I understand the reality of mortgages and kids. People have a duty to the truth and they also have a duty to their families, and everyone must weigh those priorities for themselves.’

Topher Nichols, the school’s director of communications, did not challenge the authenticity of the tape. “At this point, we don’t have a comment,” he told DailyMail.com.

Last night, a former parent at the $57,000-a-year New York City school that banned math teacher who spoke out against its woke curriculum has claimed pupils spend a week every month learning Critical Race Theory.

Grace Church School teacher Paul Rossi was ousted from the classroom Monday after he accused the school of ‘indoctrinating’ students with antiracist lessons ‘at the cost of students’ psychological and intellectual development’.

In an essay shared on former New York Times editor Bari Weiss’s Substack, Rossi said he could no longer stay silent while ‘witnessing the harmful impact’ that the curriculum has on children.

A former parent of the school, who identified himself as C Bell, commented on his essay that students are being forced to undertake controversial lessons focused on ‘antiracism, equity and belonging’.

He said: ‘I’m a former parent. My son had Paul Rossi. Sadly, Mr. Rossi’s account is not hyperbole.

‘One week out of the month is now fully devoted to CRT (not academics).

‘Grace was in the news earlier this year as well for it’s language guide, which suggested (among other things) that students and teachers say folks or parents or family and not specifically mom and dad because not all kids have mom and dads and such a person might be offended if you ask about their mom and dad.

‘The goal of education cannot be to eliminate all possibility of offense.’

Before the Rossi scandal, it was revealed last month that the Grace Church School issued a glossary of terms they claim will make the facility a more ‘inclusive’ place.

It offered a 12-page guide to staff, students and parents that encourages them to stop using ‘mom’ and ‘dad’, to stop asking classmates where they may have gone on vacation and urges them not to wish anyone a ‘Merry Christmas’ – or even a ‘Happy Holidays’.

The school’s website also has a page devoted to antiracism where it outlines the programs offered to pupils and parents.

Among the upcoming events are Zoom meetings for parents of white backgrounds where they can discuss how to better tackle racism.

Rossi claimed that the school’s headmaster, George P. Davison, privately agreed the school is ‘demonizing white people for being born’. That accusation came Monday in response to a letter by Davison said to have been shared with staff Sunday.

That note from Davison is said to have read: ‘You should know that Paul has declined his contract so will not be returning in the fall.

‘The wellbeing of our community is our first priority, and we take it seriously whenever students raise concerns about the professionalism of a teacher.
