"I object to the charge of systemic racism in this country, and at our school. Systemic racism, properly understood, is segregated schools and separate lunch counters. It is the interning of Japanese and the exterminating of Jews."
Okay, why did you have to conflate three US examples to a European one?
I'm taking umbrage at the conflation of the fourth example with the first three; it can make someone uninformed believe that the fourth example (a European example) was as an American action as the first three.
Example 1) School children need to have more fruits and vegetables in their school lunches, such as apples, pears, oranges and pizza.
Example 2) The criminal justice system needs to be less harsh in its treatment of petty offenses, such as shoplifting, public intoxication, pickpocketing and assault with a deadly weapon.
He could easily have replaced it with something like "The abduction and cultural de-education of tribal children" and it would have been more consistent, but to go right for a likely Holocaust reference? It might just be that I'm nitpicking or overly sensitive to it, but its the same kind of rhetorical dishonesty you see the intersectionalists/systemic racism activists use and I did not like seeing it be used in what was otherwise a well thought, well written and morally sensible response to the school's actions. It is akin to a fly in the punchbowl, the punch is still 'fine', but there it is.
"I object to the idea that Blacks are unable to succeed in this country without aid from government or from whites. Brearley, by adopting critical race theory, is advocating the abhorrent viewpoint that Blacks should forever be regarded as helpless victims, and are incapable of success regardless of their skills, talents, or hard work. What Brearley is teaching our children is precisely the true and correct definition of racism."
"I object to Brearley’s vacuous, inappropriate, and fanatical use of words such as “equity,” “diversity” and “inclusiveness.” If Brearley’s administration was truly concerned about so-called “equity,” it would be discussing the cessation of admissions preferences for legacies, siblings, and those families with especially deep pockets. If the administration was genuinely serious about “diversity,” it would not insist on the indoctrination of its students, and their families, to a single mindset, most reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Instead, the school would foster an environment of intellectual openness and freedom of thought."
Glad he pulled her from the school. Any parent sending their child to an academic institution in this culture war is committing child abuse.

He is calling the democrats Hitler.
Do you not see that all three are examples of racism? That's the theme throughout the letter.

3 Democrat examples to a Nazi one.
Not a bad conflation. Democrats love eugenics.
Fucking A. Replace "Brearley" with any university/ school name and it's still relevant. I feel my Board of Trustees needs to read this as well.

Hey guys, I just sent the Brearley school an email. [email protected] Feel free to tell them how you feel, I did.

The Marxists arguments in the comments just got absolutely slaughtered
And we have Mad Max to counter everything he said.
You have no idea what fighting back means.
