‘Politicizing our kids according to their woke agenda. I would sue both the teacher and the school for violating her constitutional rights. Enough with the woke censorship!’
A school district in Colorado already known for its leftist agenda – it’s being sued right now for imposing its transgender ideologies on young students by trying to force students of the opposite sex to share beds on school trips – has delivered another enhancement to its reputation for crackpot ideas.
Now a teacher has censored, banned in fact, a student from reading an assignment to her class.
It’s because the poem written at the directions of a 7th-grade teacher, who is unidentified as this point, promoted life.
Other writings blasting the Second Amendment, promoting LGBT activism and lashing out an immigration enforcement were fine.
A report at Not the Bee explained the sequence of events.
“A middle school teacher in Colorado has, according to this student, decided that protecting ‘safety’ means silencing a girl’s artistic expression because she likes babies. … Her submission? A pro-life piece loaded with Bible verses, Dr. Seuss references, and sobering abortion statistics.”
It was Libs of TikTok that, online, tracked down the fracas and asked the girl, and her mother, for comments.
“Staff admitted that the poem met all the requirements however couldn’t be read out loud because it’s ‘politically charged.’ The teacher also initially tried kicking this 13-year-old girl out of class during the poem presentations but allowed her to stay after pushback. We spoke with the mother and daughter who shared their story and with us and why being pro-life is so personal to them. This happened at Drake Middle School in @JeffcoSchoolsCo,” the group reported.
