A California teacher instructed her students to pledge allegiance to a gay pride flag after she removed the American flag from her classroom because it made her uncomfortable, according to a report. The school district has allegedly launched an investigation into the incident.
Don't miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now. The alleged teacher was exposed by the massively popular "Libs of TikTok" account on Twitter, which has over 176,000 followers. The page shared an apparent TikTok video of the teacher explaining how she handles the morning announcements in her school, which includes the Pledge of Allegiance.
"I always tell my class, 'Stand if you feel like it, don't stand if you feel like it, say the words if you want, you don't have to say the words,'" the teacher said in the video, which has over 1 million views. "So, my class decided to stand but not say the words. Totally fine."
"Except for the fact that my room does not have a flag," she noted.
The teacher explained in the video that she removed the American flag from her classroom during the pandemic "because it made me uncomfortable."
"I packed it away and I don't know where, and I haven't found it yet," she said while giggling.
One of her students asked what he should look at while they recite the Pledge of Allegiance since there is no American flag in the classroom.
While attempting to hold back laughter, she exclaimed, "In the meantime, I tell this kid, 'We do have a flag in the class that you can pledge your allegiance to.' And he like, looks around and goes, 'Oh, that one?'" She then pointed to the gay pride flag.
Fox News has identified the teacher in the viral video as Kristin Pitzen, who reportedly teaches in the Newport Mesa School District in Orange County, California.
The Newport Mesa School District told Fox News that the situation is being investigated.
"We are aware of this incident and are investigating," a public relations officer for the district, Annette Franco, told the outlet. "While we do not discuss employee related matters, we can tell you that showing respect and honor for our nation's flag is a value that we instill in our students and an expectation of our employees. We take matters like this seriously and will be taking action to address it."
In another video, Pitzen is seen celebrating the start of gay pride month. Dressed in rainbow suspenders and rainbow earrings, the teacher shows off all of the pride flags she decorated the classroom with, including the transgender pride flag and the "progress pride flag" that places a "greater emphasis on 'inclusion and progression,' especially for "marginalized LGBTQ+ communities of color" and transgender people.
"I pledge allegiance to the queers," Pitzen said in the video.
The TikTok account shown in the videos is mrsgillingsworth, which appears to have been deleted from the social media platform. When the account was active, the profile description stated: "Your Favorite English Teacher." The profile also read: "She/They" and "Bi."
Kristin Pitzen deserves a spanking while being videoed, all in front of an American Flag.
Burn the Gay Pride Flag. Burn it and film it.
Burn the flag with her wrapped in it.
Reason ten billion and six to homeschool
These people have no idea what “uncomfortable” is. There are numerous countries that the LGBT* crowd doesn’t bark about that can make them feel *real* uncomfortable.
One good thing about shipping all those Somalians and Afghans over here. They can take care of this problem.
People who go around proclaiming their “pride” are really very much ashamed of themselves.
ARTH ping.
Better a millstone....
Many 10 Afghani refugees move next door to her.
Bkmk
Indeed. Woe.....
They will. And everyone else. And they all will have sharp knives. But everything will be o.k. because we will all have loaded guns. And the Communists will never take over here because we got guns. I don’t know what you called November 2020, but it damn sure was not the Boy Scouts of America. If the Democrat Party of today is not Communists, they will do until the Communists get here.
She inded would be a pig in a blanket.
AS a parent, this is why I am FOR cameras in the classroom.
I have a feeling there is a lot more of this going on in American classrooms.
She should be sent to Kabul or Cuba immediately where she’s bound to feel far more comfortable...until she’s tossed off of a roof.
If you expect anything different from a member of a teacher’s union in CaCaLAnd, you have not been paying attention. They have been like that for ages, and are now openly celebrating it — treason.
They're cult members desperately looking for their cult.
A twice-told-tale.
Last time, it was a trans flag.
Who knows?
