We have zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment in our schools–that’s why we investigated the Chapel School in Bronxville after receiving a report alleging a teacher simulated a "slave auction" in two separate fifth grade social studies classes.
The mock auctions included a simulation of chains or "shackles" being placed on the black student's necks, wrists, and ankles, and the "sale" of the students to their white counterparts.
The teacher was terminated when the school discovered these horrifying events took place.

As a result of our investigation, the Chapel School will hire a Chief Diversity Officer, provide a plan for annually increasing the diversity of it’s teaching faculty, & commit new financial aid resources to maintain a diverse student body.
