In a lawsuit, a staffer alleges that the Collegiate School’s top administrator derided an antisemitism task force as “a joke” and “useless.”
One of New York City ’s most prestigious and pricey private K-12 schools, which counts President John F. Kennedy’s son and actor David Duchovny as alumni, has erupted into a nasty legal spat over an antisemitism task force that its top administrator allegedly called a “joke” and “useless.
Carello, the associate head of school for academics, alleged that her job as leader of the task force, and the fact that she was a woman, led Lourie to treat her differently than other school administrators. Concerns about antisemitism culminated in an internal report that was published this month, which conceded some faculty members blamed “wealthy and influential” Jewish parents for tensions at the school since Oct. 7, the, which was a far cry from the 400-plus-page report published in 2020 that discussed how institutional racism has impacted the school and American society over the centuries.
In addition, Carello claimed that Lourie made disparaging comments about female teachers on campus and dismissed complaints from women subordinates who told him was biased in favor of male colleagues. Among the alleged comments Carello characterized as misogynistic was his response to her telling him that a teacher set to return from maternity leave had inquired about a lactation room.Lourie did not respond to an email seeking comment on the allegations.
