A good friend of mine is dealing with this. She's a CD member, but has been inundated with parents and media outlets (not CNN or MSNBS) emailing/texting/calling her. I have her permission to post this on her behalf.

You can't make this kind of stupid up:

A Wake Forest, NC teacher, who teaches 10th grade English, asks this of her students & shares a little too much about herself (nothing has a thing to do with English) :

So my son comes home from school and proceeds to tell me that his English teacher felt it was appropriate to ask these kids their gender (which according to her; there are an infinite number of), sexual preference (shared she is bi), economic status, religion, race (whites are privileged) and country of origin...

So here is today's ENGLISH assignment....
Wake Forest HS Eng. teacher: asks kids their gender, sexuality & shares hers...-stupid.jpg

It's not an elective or mandatory "diversity 101" class.

Who needs to know their teacher is bisexual? Leave you personal life at the door - for any job & that includes "teaching".

The "school" got back to her and told her that this is NOT part of the 10th grade English curriculum and her son was put in to a different 10th grade English class...however; this same teacher did the same thing last year & parents also complained like crazy.

So, indirectly, the school allows this teacher to put this kind of stupid on her students.

And no, the kids weren't allowed to "not answer". The teacher collected the "forms" from all. Don't know if it's a graded in class assignment or not.

What gender is your doctor? The hell?

That's the entire problem.

I would expect teachers to teach.

Not announce to their sophomore English class that they are bisexual and then ask the kids to fill out a form "guessing" what gender/sexuality/race/socio-economic status/ability (what is "ability"?), etc., their friends, neighbors, people who live in their house, doctors are.

These kids are dealing with acne, hormones, figuring out who they are for themselves and what they want in the very near future (college or otherwise); don't put your liberal "woke" adult BS on them.

Unless, of course, THE PLAN is to indoctrinate them before they head off to college...

That form made NO SENSE at all.

Please, Jaun, you are making yourself look a little silly here. Your attempt to make everything about politics falls a little short on this one...…...in fact, a lot short.


Regardless of if this teacher is R or D or whatever, she is nuts and needs to go.

The kid is supposed to write down their doctor's sexuality, religion, ability, race, etc. too?! And everyone in their neighborhood and their elementary school and close friends? This is sick and an invasion of privacy. She'd be fired for asking any of things on a job interview and reprimanded for asking a coworker. And LMAO at asking the socioeconomic status of the doctor.

This is a matter for the school board. It is not on any state’s English curriculum, including North Carolina. It is a gross violation of student privacy. It blurs appropriate student/teacher boundaries. Yes, your friend’s kid is taken care of but this still needs to be addressed, because the very student who most needs protection from this type of inappropriate questioning is the student with parents who either can’t or won’t go through the steps to prevent it.

The taxpayers are paying for the teacher to teach her subject, and this is not it.

Well, it is the Politics forum. Have to assign a party to it. If it was trying to Shove Jesus down the kids throat I would vote Rep.

Wow, what a terrible violation of those students (AND parents, neighbors, doctors) privacy rights!

This "teacher" needs to be relieved of their duties, stat.

BTW "Teacher", your students et. al DO NOT NEED TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCE TO YOU!

DIVERSITY INVENTORY LMAO... This is a classic example of someone being over schooled, but not really very well educated in reality and a huge loss of common sense.
