      XPost: alt.niggers, alt.politics.democrats, alt.education       XPost: sac.politics       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              A prominent black Columbia University professor has called on       New Jersey parents to pull their kids out of a prestigious       Bergen County, NJ, prep school after an English teacher resigned       over what she called a “hostile culture of conformity and fear”       created by critical race theory.              “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,” John McWhorter, who is also a contributor to The Atlantic       magazine, tweeted Tuesday.              “Truly antiracist parents, in the name of love of their kids,       should pull them from the Dwight-Englewood school as of next       fall,” McWhorter continued. “Only this will arrest these       misguided Elect parishioners from their quest to forge a new       reality for us all.”              In a resignation letter posted Tuesday on the website of the       Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism, English teacher Stangel-       Plowe accused Dwight-Englewood administrators of “failing our       students” by embracing critical race theory.              “[S]tudents arrive in my classroom accepting this theory as       fact: People born with less melanin in their skin are       oppressors, and people born with more melanin in their skin are       oppressed,” she wrote. “Men are oppressors, women are oppressed,       and so on. This is the dominant and divisive ideology that is       guiding our adolescent students.”              Stangel-Plowe’s letter went on to describe students “who recoil       from a poem because it was written by a man” and “approach texts       in search of the oppressor.”              “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,” the       teacher wrote. “In her fear, she actually stopped herself from       thinking. This is the very definition of self-censorship.”              Stangel-Plowe also claimed that Dwight-Englewood Head of School       Rodney De Jarnett “told the entire faculty” on multiple       occasions in 2017 and 2018 “that he would fire us all if he       could so that he could replace us all with people of color” and       described a recent faculty meeting that was “segregated by skin       color” and at which white teachers were told “to ‘remember’ that       we are ‘White’ and ‘to take responsibility for [our] power and       privilege.”              McWhorter, an associate professor of English and comparative       literature at the Ivy League school, has drawn a substantial       following on social media for his criticism of critical race       theory.              Earlier this year, McWhorter released a book called “The Elect:       Neoracists Posing as Antiracists and their Threat to a       Progressive America” in serial form on Substack. In it,       McWhorter decried what he called “Third Wave Antiracism,” which       he said teaches that “racism is baked into the structure of       society, so whites’ ‘complicity’ in living within it constitutes       racism itself, while for black people, grappling with the racism       surrounding them is the totality of experience and must       condition exquisite sensitivity toward them, including a       suspension of standards of achievement and conduct.”              Joe Algrant, the principal of Dwight-Englewood’s Upper School,       told The Post Tuesday that he could not comment on personnel       matters.              “In this case all I can say is that Ms. Stangel-Plowe notified       us several months ago that she would not be returning next       school year,” he said in an email.              https://nypost.com/2021/06/09/columbia-professor-says-parents-       should-pull-kids-out-of-nj-school/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
