I was educated in the school district ranked by Niche.com as America’s third-best. Immigrants from around the world come to Great Neck, N.Y., to raise their children. My best friend’s father was at the Tiananmen Square massacre. My classmates left behind their families in El Salvador. My mother escaped revolutionary Iran, and my grandfather escaped the Nazis.
Lately, though, the area’s diverse and liberal-minded residents may have reason to think their local school officials aren’t as open-minded as they thought. In 2021 Great Neck North High School directed the student government to give $375 of student funds to a “racial equity” group to speak to the student body about “systemic racism.” I was the student government’s treasurer, and I felt we didn’t know enough about the organization and its mission to disburse the funds. So I refused to sign the check.
In response, the teachers who advise the student government berated, bullied and insulted me at our next meeting, which took place over Zoom for my parents to overhear. They began by announcing that my social studies teacher would be present. Together, the three adults told me that the principal himself found my stance “appalling.” I had made them and the school “look bad,” they told me. One teacher said the situation gave her “hives.”

If this had happened to anybody in my family, my dad would have showed up at that school with a sawed-off 12 gauge shotgun — and he was Choctaw.
Sahar Tartak ought to go back to whatever craphole it came from.
So that means you straight up ripped this off but want your blog to get the traffic?
You are about a low-life piece of trash, you know it?
Teachers are worse than the Taliban.
Sahar Tartak is one of us. A young conservative American woman
who is standing up.
Good for this girl standing up to those authoritarian teachers.
If you clicked the WSJ link at the blog, you’d see that you need a subscription to read the full article at the WSJ, so he’s doing us a favor by having a link to where we can read the whole article without a subscription.
Straight up theft.
What a dirtbag.
The WSJ piece is basically a excerpt from her interview video at #10
..."the teachers who advise the student government berated, bullied and insulted me "
..."the three adults told me that the principal himself found my stance “appalling.” I had made them and the school “look bad,” they told me. One teacher said the situation gave her “hives.”"
"When I suggested that students might not need or want a lecture on systemic racism, my social-studies teacher asked whether I’d also oppose a Holocaust survivor’s presentation. I objected to that comparison, but she cut me off: “If you’re not on board with systemic racism, I have trouble with that, girlfriend.” When I didn’t back down, she made a bizarre accusation: “The fact that you think slavery is debatable . . .”"
It wasn't a school that directed her to give funds to this group, it was an individual with a name. Not one of the filthy sick teachers took money out of their pocket but instead demanded the students pay from their fund. That's exactly what Communism, Fascism, and Socialism are built on; having the victims pay for their own demise.
“Sahar Tartak is a freshman at Yale...”
Sssoooooo...”out of the frying pan, into the fire” in other words.
