An English teacher has resigned from a New Jersey prep school, citing the prevalence of what she called a “hostile culture of conformity and fear.”
Dana Stangel-Plowe has been teaching English at Dwight-Englewood School since 2014. She said in her resignation letter that the school has embraced “regressive and illiberal” tenets akin to those of critical race theory, a Marxist offshoot that views society through the lens of a power struggle between “oppressors” and “the oppressed,” with a particular focus on race.
