"I'm trying to understand how you can legally teach false information and force students to give answers that are contrary to their beliefs in order to avoid bad grades," said the child's mother.
A Seattle student was failed by a history teacher after he told her on a placement test that only women can bear children and only men have penises. The student gave these answers in the quiz "Understanding sexes and genders". The test contained many questions related to true/false statements, as well as multiple-choice questions , reports the American news portal The Post Millennial.
The teacher teaches the subject "Ethnic studies and world history" to the 10th graders. Among the questions asked in the said quiz were questions such as "What does using the pronoun they/them reveal about someone's gender identity?" and "Is it true or false that transgender people are gay?".
A true/false question on the quiz asked her whether the statement that "only women can get pregnant" was true or false. After the student marked a correct answer, the teacher punished him and maintained that the correct answer was actually false.
According to the history teacher, men can also get pregnant.
The story came to light after the student's mother narrated the incident on KTTH radio.
"I'm trying to understand how to legally teach false information and force students to give answers that are contrary to their beliefs in order to avoid bad grades"
- he said in the program, where he requested anonymity, because he was afraid that his son would suffer retaliation if his identity was revealed.
She is said to have been scolded by numerous teachers, called racist and told not to use the term straight to identify herself because it was offensive.
The mother also said that the school routinely allows teachers to push political views in the classroom, and that in addition to their radicalism about gender ideology, they attack her son because of the color of his skin.
The school district refused to apologize for the teacher's behavior; a school spokesperson argued that the quiz was "inclusive" and thus appropriate for the Ethnic Studies subject.
As The Post Millennial notes, this school district, Seattle Public Schools, has long been known to push leftist gender ideologies on its students.
In July, reports revealed that the district offered free gender reassignment services to 13-year-old students — all while hiding the deals from parents.
Diversity and inclusion have been a priority for Seattle Public Schools for years, while student achievement continues to decline. As previously reported by V4NA, the school district has spent more than $5 million on so-called Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including continuing education that analyzes racial equity and an after-school program designed specifically for black students, 2022 revealed. -from the budget draft for the 23rd academic year. The budget allocated less than that, just over $4.5 million, to core science subjects such as math, science, and literature and grammar, and science would be cut by more than half a million dollars. The school district highlighted racial equality and the inclusion of students of color in school and extracurricular programs as the most important part of the budget.
The school district's budget committee decided to prioritize DEI programs despite the fact that, according to surveys measuring academic results, students' reading and math performance have decreased by 6 percentage points and 16 percentage points since 2019, respectively.
