A professor at Columbia University calls on parents to remove their children from Dwight-Englewood prep school in New Jersey after an English teacher's resignation letter shares the details of the school's culture of 'conformity and fear' after implementing critical race theory teachings.
In the book, McWhorter, who is Black, criticized what he called"Third Wave Antiracism," an idea that he says is fundamentally embedding racism into society.
"One student did not want to develop her personal essay — about an experience she had in another country — for fear that it might mean that she was, without even realizing it, racist," Stangel-Plowe wrote."In her fear, she actually stopped herself from thinking. This is the very definition of self-censorship."
