Sex ed teacher who taught 6-year-olds that it 'feels good' to touch penis, vulva says she resigned from her position because her bosses didn't support her



Justine Ang Fonte, a former teacher at Dalton School in Manhattan, New York, says she quit her job after her bosses didn't support her when parents complained about graphic sex education and masturbation lessons to 6-year-old children.

What's a brief history here?

Fonte — a "health and wellness" educator — came under fire in June after her video lessons went into great detail about prepubescent children touching themselves in an intimate manner.

During the lessons, Fonte also showed children a video featuring cartoon characters discussing erections, masturbation, and more and specifically detailed intimate parts such as a woman's clitoris.

Her lessons also reportedly included instruction on gender identity and consent.

Following the outcry, Fonte resigned from her $55,000-per-year position at the elite school.

The teacher, who also worked for elite Columbia Prep, recently came under fire for her pornography, kink, and BDSM lessons to high school students. Parents say that Fonte never received parental consent to discuss such topics in class.

Following the outcry, Columbia Prep's head issued a formal apology to parents.

What are the details?

Fonte told the New York Times for a Wednesday report that she quit her job because bosses "[failed] to back me up" amid the outcry over her lessons, which she said "cost me my safety."

The controversial educator now said she stands by her lessons and hopes to "equip" her students "with a way that they can exercise body agency and consent by knowing exactly what those parts are, what they are called, and how to take care of them. That was paired with lessons around, what are the different ways to say 'no'? And what's the difference between a secret and a surprise? And why you should never have a secret between a grown-up and you. Because it's never your responsibility as a child to hold a secret or information of a grown-up."

Of her experience at Columbia Prep, Fonte said that she desperately hoped to believe that the school was "ready to take on these issues in an educational, intellectual way."

"At least one person at that school trusted that I could do it," she added. "And I did. But they weren't ready to back it up, and it cost me my safety."

The outlet also reported that Fonte suffered a variety of attacks on her reputation, including "violent threats in her inbox" as well as the "experience of being doxxed."

According to the Times report, Fonte is now planning to write children's books and more.

6-year-olds learn it 'feels good' to touch 'penis,' 'vulva' from video shown in posh NY private school — and parents are 'furious'



For some parents of children attending New York City's posh Dalton School, the maxim "you get what you pay for" couldn't ring any hollower.

Particularly at $55,000 per year.

What happened?

Sources told the New York Post that Dalton "health and wellness" educator Justine Ang Fonte has used a cartoon video in one of her sex-ed classes for 6-year-olds explaining all about the pleasure of touching their very prepubescent private parts.

After going over the process of urination, a little boy character in the video blurts out: "Hey, how come sometimes my penis gets big sometimes and points in the air?"

The woman character, presumably a teacher, explains that he's experiencing an "erection" — after which the boy says, "Sometimes I touch my penis because it feels good."

With that, a little girl character adds, "Sometimes, when I'm in my bath or when Mom puts me to bed, I like to touch my vulva, too."

The woman then explains that "you have a clitoris there ... that probably feels good to touch the same way [the boy's] penis feels good when he touches it."

The woman adds that while "it's OK to touch yourself and see how different body parts feel ... it's best to only do it in private."

Fonte has reassured parents that she does not use the word "masturbation" in class and that, as the clip mentions, her lessons teach students to not touch themselves in public, the Post reported.

A flap over consent

But the paper said parents also are upset over lessons about "consent," which can be beneficial when it comes to protecting children from abuse — but the Post added that it's angering parents since kids are being told that they can't even be hugged without permission.

"I'm paying $50,000 to these a**holes to tell my kid not to let her grandfather hug her when he sees her?" one parent told the Post, which said parents spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear retaliation.

Fonte's lessons for first graders also include subjects such as gender assigned at birth, gender identity, and gender expression, the paper reported.

"Kids have no less than five classes on gender identity — this is pure indoctrination," a Dalton mother revealed to the Post. "This person should absolutely not be teaching children. Ironically, she teaches kids about 'consent' yet she has never gotten consent from parents about the sexually explicit and age-inappropriate material about transgender to first graders."

Another mother told the paper, "We are furious. We were horrified to learn this was shown to our first-grade 6- and 7-year-old kids without our knowledge or consent. But it's so hard to fight back because you'll get canceled, and your child will suffer."

What else?

The controversy unfolded in the fall after parents caught wind of the video in question, the Post said, adding that school officials said they "misinterpreted" the content. However, the paper said the school "quietly removed the video about kids touching themselves from the curriculum."

Then the Post ran a story on Fonte's explicit "porn literacy" workshop at another elite institution — Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School — and the paper, citing sources, said Dalton parents reacted by lodging additional complaints about Fonte's curriculum.

More from the Post:

Last week The Post reported on Fonte's workshop, "Porn Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn," at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School. The often-explicit slide presentation and lecture to the 120 co-ed juniors included how porn takes care of "three big male vulnerabilities"; statistics on the "orgasm gap" showing straight women have far fewer orgasms with their partners than gay men or women; and photos of partially nude women, some in bondage, to analyze "what is porn and what is art."

Fonte's presentation included a list of the most-searched pornographic terms of 2019, including "creampie," "anal," "gangbang," "stepmom" and more.

And while Columbia's head of school, William M. Donohue, appeared apologetic to parents about Fonte's porn presentation, a comment from a Dalton spokesman to TMZ seemed anything but:

As part of Dalton's comprehensive Health curriculum for students, a lesson on Gender & Bodies included two evidence-based and age-appropriate videos approved for students 4 years and older. These videos align with nationally recognized methodologies and standards. We consistently review our Health curriculum, making sure that the content is developmentally appropriate and, if necessary, we adapt our curriculum accordingly. We will continue to listen carefully to parent feedback, respond thoughtfully to community concerns, and develop lessons that are in the best interest of our students, respect our community's values, and correspond with best practices.

Elite NYC school suffering 'race meltdown' over 'extreme' anti-racist demands: report



The Dalton School, an elite school in New York City, is reportedly experiencing a "race meltdown" over anti-racist demands by teachers that some are calling "extreme" and "insane."

The Dalton School is an elite K-12 preparatory school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that has an exorbitant tuition of $54,180, but also prides itself on being extremely progressive. Jim Best, the head of the school, declared that he has "committed Dalton to becoming a visibly, vocally, structurally anti-racist institution."

The school's website has a "Commitment to Anti-Racism" page, where it outlines it's "anti-racism vision." The objectives include: "All Dalton students will have a deep historical understanding of racial and structural inequities in the U.S., and particularly the history of anti-black racism."

Despite the prep school already committed to anti-racism, the teachers at the Dalton School are allegedly demanding the institution be even more committed to anti-racism. The New York Post reported on the eight-page "anti-racist manifesto signed by dozens of faculty members with a sweeping list of demands."

The purported demands, some based on critical race theory, include:

  • Hiring 12 full-time diversity officers, and multiple psychologists to support students "coping with race-based traumatic stress."
  • Assigning a staffer dedicated to black students who have "complaints or face disciplinary action," and a full-time advocate to help black kids "navigate a predominantly white institution."
  • Paying the student debt of black staffers upon hiring them.
  • Requiring courses that focus on "Black liberation" and "challenges to white supremacy."
  • Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material.
  • Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks.
  • Requiring "anti-racism" statements from all staffers.
  • Overhauling the entire curriculum, reading lists and student plays to reflect diversity and social justice themes.
  • Divesting from companies that "criminalize or dehumanize" black people, including private prisons and tech firms that manufacture police equipment or weapons.
  • Donating 50 percent of all fundraising dollars to NYC public schools if Dalton is not representative of the city in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and immigration status by 2025.

Colin Wright, managing editor Quillette, posted some of the demands on Twitter. He wrote, "The Dalton School in Manhattan is having a race meltdown. Teachers are holding the school for ransom with demands, but they're so extreme the school will crumble if they give in. But they'll crumble if they don't, too!"

Naked Dollar writer Scott Johnston, who first revealed the alleged manifesto, said, "Dalton's teachers are refusing to come back" until the demands are met.

The Post spoke to parents of children who attend the elite school.

"My ancestors experienced white supremacy by being slaughtered," a Jewish parent reportedly said. "The idea that being white automatically means you are privileged or a white supremacist is ridiculous. My child comes from people who had to fight for everything they got. It's just about skin color now."

Earlier this year, the pricey school received pushback from parents who were unsatisfied with the school's remote education during the coronavirus pandemic. The Dalton School went to all-digital instruction until at least mid-year. Approximately 70 parents signed a petition to open the school, which stated, "Zoom-school is not Dalton."

"We are, in short, frustrated and confused and better hope to understand the school's thought processes behind the virtual model it has adopted," a letter from parents to the school reads, according to Bloomberg. "Please tell us what are the criteria for re-opening fully in person. Covid-19 is not going away and waiting for that to happen is misguided."

The Dalton School is known for its famous alumni such as Anderson Cooper, Christian Slater, and Claire Danes. The school is also where Jeffrey Epstein was hired as a teacher by former headmaster Donald Barr, father of former United States Attorney General William Barr.

In November, journalist Megyn Kelly announced that she had pulled her two sons from a "woke, far-left" elite NYC prep school that planned to implement an extreme racial social justice agenda.

"It's so out of control on so many levels, and after years of resisting it, we're going to leave the city," she said on "The Megyn Kelly Show." "We pulled our boys from their school, and our daughter is going to be leaving hers soon, too. The schools have always been far left, which doesn't align with my own ideology, but I didn't really care. Most of my friends are liberals; it's fine. I come from Democrats as a family."
