Flash Cards Depicting Pregnant Man Used in WCPSS Preschool Classroom in House District 37 - Speaker Tim Moore

This happened in my neck of the woods (Raleigh-area). Our local media has reported that the teacher resigned. (Good riddance!)

The cards were being used to teach children about the colors of the rainbow in a preschool classroom at Ballentine Elementary School in Fuquay-Varina according to the principal, who verified the information with a teacher.

WRAL News found the cards, called Progress Pride Flag Rainbow Families, online. The description reads, "These gorgeous custom-designed illustrations celebrate LGBT2SQ+ Families of diverse races, ages, sexualities, genders, and abilities."

A spokesperson from Wake County released the statement, "An initial review determined that flash cards were not tied to the district’s Pre-K curriculum, did not complement, enrich, or extend the curriculum and were used without the principal's review, knowledge, and/or approval."
What is up with these rogue "teachers" adding their own content to the curriculum?

I'm all for the practice of "tar and feathering" to return.

We need to open up teachers to civil liability, and if they cannot pay, they need to do community service.

You dont have men with beer bellies in the States? Some one viewed the flash card as possibily showing a man being pregnant and you jump all over sueing teachers and blaming rhe left. Maybe some parent saw something that did not exist and got bent out of shape.

Oh please, stop spinning.

Look at the picture. It *might* be a really butch looking lesbian instead of a guy but they're definitely pregnant and the cards are real and for sale at the link provided.

Back when my kids were in middle school, there was some shenanigans that was going on on the dance floor, concerning underwear at school dances. The principal required for the next dance that all the girls be wearing underwear under their party dresses, and he stood there at the door demanding to see the underwear before they were allowed in.

Yeah, he resigned too.

Educators. From time to time, you find a whack one. And they resign.
