It’s always encouraging to see parents and others fighting back against the effort to sexualize children. At a time when progressives are trying desperately to introduce their ideology on sexuality and gender identity, people are using the legal system to put a stop to the movement to indoctrinate young minds in the classrooms.
Nevada parents have filed a federal lawsuit against the Clark County School District (CCSD) after their 15-year-old child was allegedly forced to read a pornographic script during a class assignment. The incident, which took place in March 2022, involved the student being assigned a sexually explicit monologue written by another student and edited by the teacher. The parents initially raised their concerns during a school district meeting, but the mother’s microphone was cut off due to the explicit nature of the language.
The parents, Candra and Terrell Evans, initially filed the lawsuit in January. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has taken the case and filed a federal suit against the district in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs explain that they are filing the complaint against the district “for conducting and supporting CCSD teacher Kelly Hawes’s actions compelling a minor student to study, memorize and perform sexually explicit and obscene content as a class assignment for a grade.”
It further notes that “[w]hen Plaintiffs attempted to address Hawes’s unlawful conduct and seek relief in the appropriate forum, CCSD’s Board prevented Plaintiff Candra Evans from doing so – silencing her and interfering with her reading of the assignment at a School Board meeting.”
The monologue in question contains explicit language and addresses sexual themes, including references to genitals and sexual orientation. The ACLJ edited the monologue to remove profanity while highlighting its content:
I don’t love you. It’s not you, it’s just (looks down) your d***. I don’t like your d*** or any d*** in that case. I cheated Joe. We were long distance and I’m in college and me and this girl, my roommate, started having some drinks and you know, I thought it was a one time thing but then we started going out for coffee, and started sleeping in the same bed. I never thought it would get this far but God, it was like fireworks, and made me realize that with you it was always like a pencil sharpener that keeps getting jammed. I’ve tried to look at it from all different perspectives, but the truth is, I’m a f***ing lesbian. I’ll never love you or any man, or any f***ing d***. I hope you find a nice straight girl because that’s not me, and I’m tired of pretending that it is.
The lawsuit accuses the district of violating the student’s First Amendment rights by forcing her to read the explicit material. Additionally, it claims that the district violated the mother’s rights by preventing her from sharing the monologue during the board meeting.
The incident gained national attention after the mother’s public comment during the school board meeting was shared on social media platform TikTok by Libs of TikTok. In response, the CCSD stated that it was investigating the circumstances surrounding the assignment and acknowledged that the content was not conducive to student instruction.
A mom in @ClarkCountySch reads from a graphic assignment her daughter was required to do. Her mic then gets cut off because it’s inappropriate for a public discussion.
Adults can’t handle hearing this content yet they readily give it to kids in school. How does it make sense? pic.twitter.com/GFP1bGhNlg

The case raises concerns about the appropriateness of educational materials and assignments in public schools. It highlights the delicate balance between freedom of speech and protecting minors from exposure to explicit content.
As the legal proceedings continue, the outcome of the lawsuit will likely have implications for similar cases and potentially impact the development of guidelines and policies regarding the use of explicit material in educational settings, which is why it is so important for people to push back on the ultra-leftist agenda in the classroom and elsewhere. The courts have already proven to be an effective avenue, but there must be more people willing to use it.
Do, I guess we’re past the days where dads pummel the crap out of psychos who abuse their kids?
No wonder America is running out of time. We’re almost dead in the water and the sharks are getting hungry.
The men who don’t defend their kids from this garbage are not much of men.
Some years back, a female drama student at the University of Utah refused to act in plays that required her to use the word “f—k”. She was kicked out of the program. I was amazed that no one came to her defense, despite her principled position.
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.
Why public schools and teachers get a pass on law breaking in general, much less sexually abusing kids is beyond me.
They get away with things that if any non-teacher did it, they'd be thrown in jail and labeled a sexual predator for life over.
There is something wrong with many of today’s teachers. Universities are pumping out a lot of perverts.
Next time you hear about the abominations going on in the schools and the school board, please note it is your fault. We had a recent school board election in Red Clay School District (Delaware); 4.3% voted!
Very telling.
Take your kids out of VILE PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
This is one more case where I would pull out the school principle the teacher and hold an election for those who would be responsible to the parents and their children. These children are being motivated to act like animals with sexualized curriculum. The school board knows it and these directors should be pulled out of their positions with an election held to replace them. All of this should be demanded from court action.
Press charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Sue individual teachers also. They have liability insurance. Nothing changes behavior faster than a threat to lose one’s stuff.
Ask the “educators” what the point of all this is.
Isn’t that passage bisexualphobic?
Thanks. Just shared this with my FB group that monitor local school boards.
