Approximately 60 students at a Kansas City high school walked out of classes Wednesday to protest a veteran teacher who had written a op-ed criticizing school diversity policies and allegedly doesn’t use students’ “preferred” pronouns.
Caedran Sullivan wrote late last month in The Lion that she could “no longer stay silent” about the Shawnee Mission School District “fostering a toxic environment” with its DEI trainings.
“There is repeated white shaming and a preoccupation with white people as the ‘oppressor,’ including staff field trips with a focus on ‘systemic racism,’ Sullivan wrote. “The white saviorism and virtue-signaling at DEI meetings is so condescending that many minorities and other staff members have stopped attending.”
Sullivan also said teachers were told to refer to students by the preferred pronouns, “but hide from the parents the fact that their minor children are transitioning at school.”

This is the hill to die on.
We cannot allow DEI/pronoun cr@p to infect our communities.
It’s the foundation for ESG... everything you do will affect if you will be allowed to travel freely or eat.
My preferred pronoun is U, as in FU.
Stop using d-e-i. Use d-i-e.
Satan is gaining followers daily.
Yes! You get it! Stop using their preferred words!
What is this. Speaking directly to a student in the first person like I speak to my pets or my baby grands for that matter.
Hims/hers/they know the answer to this question. Hims can hand in your essay now. Controlling my private speech is fighting words him/her/they can bank on.
Call everyone citizen and be done with it.
‘ Call everyone citizen and be done with it’.
Good idea.
I like Ted Cruz’ pronouns: KISS. MY. ASS.
Its how stupid people can become more powerful than people who actually built themselves into something.
Me too.
If they don’t know what they are how are other people to know what they are, I call them the way I see them.
Sullivan is doing the right thing. Stay strong!
60 walked out and the vast majority stayed. Now it would be entirely fitting and appropriate to clearly identify those students who walked out by name , birthdate etc, and create an easily accessible list on the internet for reference purposes. These students have reached the age of reason and must be held accountable.
Well said.
How about calling everyone "Comrade" instead?
With 7 million illegal alien invaders in the last two years, and likely a million more in the next month or two, (and 30-40 million illegals over the last 40 years) the odds are growing that calling them "citizen" would also be misnaming them.
Shawnee Mission North is located in Mission, KS, a suburb of KC, and part of the Shawnee Mission School District. Johnson County where the schools are located, has turned blue so this doesn’t surprise me. North is more diverse (I went to East where it’s still 99% white but just as woke, if not worse). This s*it is everywhere, even in little old Kansas.
Maybe they would prefer being called comrade.
