The head of an elite Manhattan school that booted a teacher for ripping its extremist “antiracism” policies was recorded admitting that it has been “demonizing white people,” according to audio released Tuesday.

“We’re demonizing kids, we’re demonizing white people for being born,’’ George Davison, principal of the private Grace Church School, was allegedly caught telling whistleblowing  teacher Paul Rossi on the tape.

“We are using language that makes them feel ‘less than’ — for nothing that they are personally responsible for,’’ the supposedly woke principal acknowledges, according to the audio released by Rossi.

“The fact is, I am agreeing with you that there has been a demonization that we need to get our hands around in a way in which people are doing this [understand],’’ Davison says.

Rossi, a math teacher, says he was booted from the school for the rest of the year for casting it as a leftist indoctrination site.

He fired off an email to Davison on Monday that was posted online accusing his boss of adopting progressive positions in public — while questioning them behind closed doors.

“While I cannot know for certain, I suspect that the reason you have not shared these concerns with the broader Grace community is because you know exactly what happens to people who do,” Rossi wrote. “It is what is happening to me right now.

“In support of those who will inevitably be scared into silence by seeing the price I am now paying for speaking up, I am compelled to share what you have told me in previous conversations,” the teacher said.

Rossi said Davison told him he had “grave doubts about some of the doctrinaire stuff that gets spouted at us in the name of antiracism.”

Davison then denied making any of the statements in an emailed response to Rossi.

“You misquoted me and attributed to me things that I had never said nor would ever say in the press,” he wrote to Rossi.

“Your actions were unprofessional, and I still defended your right to have a point of view. I will not in an email get into a point by point rebuttal because I know that you are not trustworthy given your past performance.”

But Rossi released audio clips Tuesday that he said clearly back up his accounts.

The teacher sparked controversy at the exclusive school last week with an essay that accused administrators of choking off dissent and fixating on race.

A school spokesman said he has been prohibited from teaching for the rest of the year because several students asked to be removed from his class.

The school did not immediately comment on the recordings released Tuesday.
