Parents sue after Nevada school assigns 15-year-old pornographic monologue to memorize

AMERICAN NEWS
Feb 7, 2023

A Nevada family is suing their daughter’s school district and several school employees after a teacher allegedly assigned their child an “obscene, sexual activity as a class assignment,” reports KSNV.
 
Candra and Terrell Evans are bringing legal action against the Clark County School District (CCSD) after their 15-year-old daughter was assigned to perform an obscene monologue in a theater class about a girl coming out as lesbian to her boyfriend.
 
“She felt very betrayed, and she just cried all the time,” Candra told KSNV. “She didn’t want to get up. She didn’t want to go to school.”
 
Candra and Terrell said their daughter and other students in her class were given monologues last March to memorize and perform that had been written by other students and approved by their teacher.
 
Candra complained to the assistant principal at the time, but when her concerns were not appropriately addressed, she publicly raised the issue at a school board meeting on May 12. 
 
“This will be horrifying for me to read to you, but it will give you perspective on how she must've felt when her teacher required her to memorize this and to act it out in front of her entire class,” she began, before proceeding to read the assigned monologue.
 
“I don’t love you. It’s not you, it’s just your dick," Evans read. "I don't like your dick or any dick, in that case."
 
She was immediately interrupted, and her microphone appears to have been turned off. A board member asks her not to use that kind of language.
 
“If you don’t want me to read it to you, what was it like for my 15-year-old daughter to have to memorize pornographic material,” Candra replied.
 
The lawsuit claims unlawful grooming and abuse of a minor student.
 
“That teacher abused their authority and required a sexually explicit assignment to be performed,” the family’s attorney Sam Castor told KSNV. “Now, put yourself in the shoes of this 14, 15-year-old girl. She’s in a scenario where she has to perform something that’s against her own family beliefs.”
 
Both Candra and Terrell feel that the school handled the situation badly from the beginning.
 
“I still don’t understand how a teacher would think this is okay to ever give this to a kid, knowing that they will be humiliated reading that, having to memorize it,” said Candra.
 
Candra says her daughter has been in counseling since the incident occurred and while she is still enrolled at the school, she is no longer taking theater class.

Yes, if it's unfit for the board meetings, then it's unfit for the kids... especially requiring them to memorize and act it out in a play!

It’s mortifying for them.  That teacher should be fired.

Why should it be mortifying? Teachers, just like garbage disposal crews, part time workers, chefs, cooks, waitresses, waiters, convenience store employees, salesmen/saleswomen, marketing staff, human resource personnel, scientists, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, managers, directors, even CEOs can be fired. So why shouldn't teachers? Do they have some kind of carte blanc "do anything and never be fired" contract?

So, to keep from embarrassing the students by firing the teachers who embarrass the students, we keep the teachers who will continue to embarrass their students anyway?

It makes no sense to me.

We need to get rid of the bad teachers who don't teach but indoctrinate LGBTQ and CRT ideology warping these poor kids minds. 

Teach them how not to be embarrassed when a teacher is fired and to be proud instead that they will finally be getting an education that's worth something in the future!!!

In 53 Illinois Schools, Not a Single Student Can Do Math at Grade Level

By Margaret Flavin
Feb. 14, 2023 7:20 pm

While teachers push Critical Race Theory and the sexualization of children in schools, academic rigor continues to slip lower and lower.
 
The Illinois State Board of Education’s recent report card is dreadful.
 
In 30 schools in Illinois, not a single student can read at grade level, 22 of which are in the City of Chicago.
 
In 53 schools, not a single student can do math at grade level, 33 of which are in  Chicago.
 
Keep dancing Mayor Lightfoot.
 
Wirepoints reports:
 
The absolute failure to teach even a single child to read and do math in so many schools is yet another indictment of the state’s educational system. At Wirepoints, we covered in detail the failures of Illinois education across the state in Poor student achievement and near-zero accountability: An indictment of Illinois’ public education system.
 
The data comes straight from the Illinois State Board of Education.
 
This column focuses on schools where zero percent of kids are able to read or do math. But we could have just as easily looked at the 622 schools where only 1 out of 10 kids or less can read at grade level. That’s a whopping 18 percent of the state’s 3,547 schools that tested students in 2022.
 
And only 1 out of 10 kids or less can do math at grade level in 930 schools…that’s more than a quarter of all schools in the state.
 
Defenders of the current system are sure to invoke covid as the big reason for the low scores. But a look at the 2019 numbers show that the reading and math numbers were only slightly better than they are now.
 
Take Spry, for example. Just 2 of the school’s 127 students in 2019 could read at grade level before the pandemic. In math, zero students were proficient.
 
The failure isn’t about money, either. Data from the Illinois State Board of Education shows spending at Spry was already at $20,000 per student before the pandemic. Today it spends $35,600.
 
What’s really incredible is that many of these schools are rated “commendable” by the Illinois State Board of Education. That’s the 2nd-highest of four “accountability” ratings a school can receive.
 
Not a single one of the 113 students at Sandoval Sr High School can read or do math at grade level. And yet the school is “commendable.”

Students need to know they can refuse to say anything that is sexual in nature even if a teacher insists. A school district can’t support that.  The teacher should only on be fired but investigated for sexual abuse of a child and pedophilia.

That doesn’t surprise me at all. Math must be taught properly and students should not get an automatic pass in the subject u til they can do at least C level work.
