What to know

  • Sunny Hostin said her children faced racism and bullying at a predominantly White private school, despite it being well-resourced.
  • The remarks came as she discussed Nikole Hannah-Jones' recent admitted regret over choosing a predominantly Black public school for her own daughter.
  • Hostin cited a $23 billion national funding gap between predominantly non-White and White school districts as the underlying systemic issue.
  • Hannah-Jones responded that the broader focus should be on Black families who lack resources to choose better schools, not on individual parents' decisions.

“I sent my children to private schools, a predominantly White private school. So, while they didn't suffer academically, they excelled, but it was a well-funded school, a private school, well-resourced school, they suffered a different type of pain.”

    “I hope people concerned about the choice my husband and I made for our daughter will have equal or more outrage for the thousands of Black children whose parents don't have the resources to send them to better schools.”
