The field trip upset some parents at Gaia School. “It’s just a major breach of trust," said one parent.
Some parents are outraged after the leader of a small Minneapolis private school took about a dozen middle- and high-school-aged students on a sex education field trip to an adult novelty store late last week.
“It’s just a major breach of trust,” said Lynn Floyd, whose 11- and 13-year-old daughters were part of the outing to the Smitten Kitten. “You just can’t erase those images.”
A leader of Gaia Democratic School and the host of the field trip defended the outing, saying the visit capped a monthslong sex education class.
Director Starri Hedges, who also teaches the school’s sex education class, said she wanted to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students to learn about human sexual behavior.
“What I saw happening on our trip, I thought it was beautiful because kids could talk to these sex educators without any shame, without any fear,” Hedges said Monday.
Gaia is a K-12 school with a motto promising academic freedom, youth empowerment and democratic education. Parents say the school has about 25 students, including several described by administrators as transgender. IRS records show the school, housed in a Unitarian church on Mount Curve Avenue, has an annual budget of about $100,000.

Fire teacher and head of school and if that doesn't work pull children out of this madhouse.
The teacher thought it was such a soft introduction to debauchery that it would go unnoticed.
The name of this “school” tells you everything you need to know about it.
If you placed your children in a school that has ‘Democrat’ in the wording, you shouldn’t be surprised if they have a field trip to a sex shop - or any other crappy places.
If you check out the school and the teacher, you will see that the parents should not have been the least bit surprised. Scary to think that parents would willingly turn their children over to these lunatics.
“Gaia Democratic School”
Any parent that sends their children to a school named thusly should not be surprised by this field trip. The name is transparent enough for anyone with half a brain to understand that it is filled with idiots.
“I thought it was beautiful...”
Only a pervert would make such a statement about 11 and 13 year old girls.

I like the one about the store employees being ‘sex educators’...
Perfect. She has a porn star name.
She should be flat out fired on the spot. ‘Brave New World’ kind of stuff. Moronic and unwise ‘regressivism’.
Okay here is the problem.
If your kids school is named “Gaia Democratic School” and the Directors name is Starri Hedges, how are you surprised that they would do something like go to a sex shop????
Gaia Democratic School? What did they expect?
Gee, with a name like “Gaia Democratic School”, did you think your kids would be going on field trips to the Vatican?
Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. Force your children to lie down with dogs ...

And more wierd - satanic like crap
Mz “Starri Hedges” also has tattoos and the distinct visual look of someone who is bat stuffingly insane.
“Who goofed? I’ve GOT to know!”
Perfect. She has a porn star name.
Give her a break.
Maybe her mother gave her that name because she was conceived outside on a clear starry night.
It was just satire in movies 25 years ago. Now they’re making it happen.
No, they should start out with fired and move right on to prosecution. The store is also going to have a problem because you’re not supposed to be in there unless you’re 21 or over. The proprietor just kinda missed the entire class of 11-13 year olds coming through the door?
