'In my professional opinion, the school is failing to encourage healthy habits of mind, essential for growth, such as intellectual curiosity, humility, honesty, reason, and the capacity to question ideas and consider multiple perspectives,' wrote former teacher Dana Stangel-Plowe.
An English teacher at a prep school in New Jersey resigned from her position over disagreements with the school's critical race theory lessons, claiming they were creating a hostile environment"of conformity and fear" within the school.that the Dwight-Englewood School was requiring"students to see themselves not as individuals, but as representatives of a group, forcing them to adopt the status of privilege or victimhood.
She wrote that the school was failing its students."Over the past few years," Stangel-Plowe wrote,"the school has embraced an ideology that is damaging to our students' intellectual and emotional growth and destroying any chance at creating a true community among our diverse population. I reject the hostile culture of conformity and fear that has taken hold of our school."
The resignation letter was published by the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, an organization founded by private school parent Bion Bartning earlier this year, whose mission is to oppose critical race theory teachings in schools and promote what it calls a"pro-human" agenda. She also said in her letter,"During a recent faculty meeting, teachers were segregated by skin color. Teachers who had light skin were placed into a 'white caucus' group and asked to 'remember' that we are 'White' and 'to take responsibility for [our] power and privilege,'" and questioned whether the school would start segregating students next.
