Columbia University linguistics professor John McWhorter, who is Black, said Wednesday evening that parents of children enrolled at a New Jersey private school that has started to teach critical race theory should pull them out before the fall.
“All hail Dana Stangel-Plowe, who has resigned from the Dwight-Englewood School, which teaches students ‘antiracism’ that sees life as nothing but abuse of power, and teaches that cringing, hostile group identity against oppression is the essence of a self,” McWhorter, who is Black, tweeted.
McWhorter said if parents are “truly antiracist,” they should take their children out of the prep school. “Only this will arrest these misguided Elect parishioners from their quest to forge a new reality for us all.”
NJ PREP SCHOOL TEACHER QUITS OVER CRITICAL RACE THEORY
Stangel-Plowe,a former English teacher at the school, claimed it is using CRT to teach a “hostile culture of conformity and fear” — causing white and male students to believe they are “oppressors.”
