Denver Public Schools board members voted unanimously May 20 to dismiss a 50-year-old foreign language teacher following a district investigation and an independent review into student complaints about a class assignment.
The board voted 7-0 after meeting in executive session to consider the firing of Jennifer Honka. Honka taught French Language and Culture at Northeast Early College for all of her eight years with the district. Officially, Honka was fired for incompetence and neglect of duty. There was no public debate among the board members prior to the vote.
Honka's classroom instruction first came into question during the 2023-24 school year. She had received the highest possible rating in district assessments the prior three years. But then students approached other teachers and complained about skits in Honka's class in which they were asked to kiss one another.
According to the independent review, issued on April 30th, a copy of which was obtained by CBS Colorado, those students were always the same sex.
One student told an NEC chemistry teacher about the skits in April 2024.
"The student was very uncomfortable and did not know what to do," the report stated. "She went ahead and kissed another student at (Honka)'s direction. The student then shared a digital meme with (the chemistry teacher) that included a picture of (Honka) and the caption 'she makes girls kiss.' The meme had circulated among the students.
"After this incident, the student's attendance decreased dramatically."
One student interviewed directly in the independent review also testified that Honka always selected girls to act in the skits. Despite a nearly 50/50 split among boys and girls in the class, the student "could not recall Honka choosing a boy actor."

I went to an all-boys Catholic school run by monks, and our dean of students was an ex-WWII Iwo Jima / Okinawa Marine
I know things are f*****ed up in America, but I still can’t imagine how such a thing actually was allowed to happen.
It is long past time that “teachers” are held accountable for sexually abusing kids under their care. Not “fired.” Imprisoned. Sexually abusing kids is NOT OK.
If it hadn’t been Kolorado, she’d a been arrested. Public education has been so completely corrupted by demons it’s time to burn it down. Then let the communities rebuild.
Needs to catch a beating.
Back when I was in high school (late 60's) I had a French teacher that I and any of the guys would have been all too eager to kiss. Young, pretty, great figure, short skirts, were we "Hot For Teacher"? Oh yeah.
She was single but engaged, very upstanding and strict-but-fair, and AFAIK never even flirted with any students.
She’s not even going to be prosecuted?
She still has her teaching license?
Maybe some of the parents will have to pursue that part, via civil suit.
Denver is the Paris of the mountains and Oregon is the France of the Formerly Great Northwest.
Yes it isn’t so much of a school now more of a retraining program.
Problems within a program are as bad as those not within it.
Just wait
Former teacher Jennifer Honka will soon be a democRAT candidate for office in Colorado.
In the meantime, Jennifer will be updating her LGBTQ rants to the new, more woke MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+
I am not just making stuff up. Here is a video of a person using MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ as if it is just any other word. How long did she have to practice to say this insanity so smoothly?

The older I get, the more I appreciate the K-8 Dominican nuns at the parochial school I attended.
This is the environment that the politicians, the school boards and the teacher’s unions have encouraged.
“Colorado students report same-sex peers were made to kiss during class assignment, teacher fired”. The Nuns wouldn’t have let that happen in Catholic school in the 50’s and 60’s.
2 years from the first student report.
We knew growing up that teachers and schools were working for us on approval of our parents.
No way any of us kids would have gone along with this
Men kissing men is faggy or French.
