The mother of a Tampa, Florida, seventh-grader is speaking out after finding an assignment given to her 12-year-old daughter and other students in Spanish class at Monroe Junior High.

The form asked, “How much privilege do you have? Circle the boxes that apply to you.”

The categories on the form listed “Race,” “Skin Color,” “Religion,” “Sex,” “Gender,” “Sexual Orientation” and “Disability.”

The options under gender included, “cisgendered,” “transgendered” or “genderqueer.”

Cisgender is a term for someone who has a gender identity that aligns with what they were assigned at birth. The term was created for referring to "non-transgender" people without alienating transgender people.

Had to look that one up.

I have never even heard of those gender things.

Also this was supposed to be Spanish and obviously the teacher had an agenda.

Good for this mother to actually take some interest in her child , unlike so many who have their kids at these schools.

They are going to start picking the easiest targets (schools that will give little resistance).

then they will try get it to suburban areas like Southern NJ, Staten Island, places that will put up a fight.

I assume and count on the Southern states going nuts.

I figure my donations to FR are my assistance to the heartland and the south :)

never heard of it and will never use it.
Just like I don’t use gay for homosexuals, or transgender for cross dressing perverts or mentally imbalanced.

At that age, I was being taught civics and how the electoral college worked. Not easy and I still get confused but, my, my education was worth it. I wish I could tell those old teachers how good they were. I didn’t appreciate them at the time.

If it had been in Spanish, that would at least have taught or tested competence in the language.

It correctly distinguished “sex” from “gender,” but the “gender” options should have been masculine, feminine, and neuter.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Schoolteachers are some of the most brain-dead automatons I have ever met. Generally speaking, they are unable to think for themselves. Rather, they regurgitate back leftist talking points programmed into them from the leftist professors at teachers colleges and from the PBS stations they listen to.

Now I know that there are exceptions to this, with some conservative, dedicated teachers who do not want to indoctrinate, but the great majority of teachers, especially women teachers, are disasters. Sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts.

Why is your child even at a public school, retard? How can you be oblivious of the fact that Satanist pedophile goosesteppers run them?

Not all are goose - stepping pedophiles.

There are many good men and women who do nothing because their rights to oppose are not recognized, and they have bills to pay.

So ya gots to go around the public school. I got my head bashed trying to change my kids’ schools 22 years ago. I got wiser, and homeshooled with great success. In a way. I have to thank the commies and idiots in the schools. I got busy, and rescued my kids from ignorance. And it’s the most important thing I did in my life.

The government employees obviously need some feedback (maybe fist to face) from those paying their paychecks. Communism and leftism is worse than any perceived privilege that actually does not exist in a free country.

After reading the whole article, I have to say I applaud the mother for jumping right in and stating what she EXPECTS to be taught in the Spanish class! Bravo Mom!
