"Diversity Teacher's Fiery Agenda: Seeking Equity Amidst Staff Opposition"

A diversity teacher in a Colorado public school expressed frustration in private emails, stating that he was struggling with the urge to "burn things down" due to staff resistance to his equity agenda. The teacher, Casey Menninger, wanted classes to focus on the negative actions of white people. Staff members were found to be critical of his diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) class. The emails also revealed a lack of support and understanding from colleagues. The district and Menninger have not yet responded to requests for comment.
