Sunny Hostin says children faced racism and bullying at private schools
Sunny Hostin said on "The View" that her children experienced racism and bullying at predominantly white private schools, including incidents where pencils were stuck in her daughter's hair. Hostin made the comments while discussing Nikole Hannah-Jones' regret over sending her daughter to predominantly Black, high-poverty public schools. Hostin said her children excelled academically but suffered psychological trauma and identity-related bullying, contrasting with underfunded non-white school districts receiving $23 billion less annually. Hannah-Jones responded that public focus should remain on families without resources for better schools, stating "there is no absolution to be had for any of us." Fox News Digital sought comment from ABC and Ethical Culture Fieldston School without immediate response.
