Rolling Stone Investigates Troubling History of Delaware School
A recent investigation by Rolling Stone has shed light on the troubling history of a small private school in New Castle County, Delaware. The New School, located near Newark, has come under scrutiny for its handling of alleged sexual behavior, aggression, shaming, and a culture of silence.
The school, which has a small student body of under 50 kids aged 5 to 19, has been the subject of controversy in the past. Notably, it was the school attended by Samuel Gulick, who later threw a Molotov cocktail inside a Planned Parenthood facility in Newark in 2020. Gulick’s lawyer cited developmental issues that were allegedly untreated during his time at The New School, where he focused on a conservative form of Roman Catholicism.
Former students interviewed by Rolling Stone described the school as more like a “cult” than a safe haven, raising concerns about the institution’s practices and leadership. Despite these allegations, the school has denied any wrongdoing and maintains that it offers a unique educational experience free from traditional structures.
The investigation has sparked renewed interest in the school, with alumni reporting contact from the FBI in 2022. However, the bureau has declined to comment on any ongoing investigations related to The New School.
As the community grapples with the revelations brought to light by Rolling Stone, questions remain about the future of the school and its impact on students past and present. The full investigation can be found on Rolling Stone’s website, offering a deeper look into the troubled history of this Delaware institution.
