Parents at an elementary school in Kansas are upset after students were reportedly told that they were not allowed to list President Donald Trump or late conservative activist Charlie Kirk as their role models for an assignment.
The situation happened at Marshall Elementary School in Eureka, Kansas, in October. A formal complaint said the incident only recently came to light because students were originally instructed not to tell their parents about what happened.
The American Center for Law & Justice, described as “a politically conservative, Christian-based legal organization,” has filed a civil rights complaint with the school.
The organization said it is representing a parent and a student in the case.
The complaint filed Tuesday accuses the district and Marshall Elementary School of religious discrimination, political or viewpoint discrimination, violation of free speech rights and retaliation.
The complaint said a school guidance counselor gave sixth-grade students an assignment called “Find Your Voice,” in which the students were asked to identify their role models.
“When a student identified Charlie Kirk as a role model, [the guidance counselor] got very uncomfortable and refused to allow this name to be written on the board, yelling that he was ‘not a hero,’ and that he was not a role model,” the complaint read.
When another student chose Trump as their role model, the guidance counselor reportedly had the same response.
“When another student selected President Donald J. Trump as a role model, [the guidance counselor] reiterated her prohibition even more angrily, stating that students could not write political or religious figures on the board, and in fact excluded political and religious topics altogether,” the complaint read.

The article also mentions that the guidance counselor also apparently instructed the children to not tell their parents or principal about not being allowed to name Kirk, Trump, or Jesus as their role model.
If the student said they wanted to name Nick Fuentes as their role model the teacher would have probably had a heart attack on the spot.
Lol.
coulter’s rule in play for the entire article.
I bet they could choose Barry Soetero however.
When I went to school eons ago, guidance counselors didn’t teach classes...
... and his beard...
Fine.
Name Paul as the role model.
Changed his life for good purposes.
Quote Scripture.
Influenced by Jesus and God’s Spirit.
“were not allowed to list President Donald Trump or late conservative activist Charlie Kirk “
It’s no coincidence that these represent two problems for the Left that they tried to solve with gunfire.
This shows that the left are only interested only in sheer power. If it were me giving this assignment I’d be interested in knowing what kids were really thinking and why…
Karl Marx elementary school eliminates free speech.
Give me your child for 4 years and I will own them for life.
I’m sure heroes or role models such as kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama , would have been okay.
But then they made this rule about no political figures are allowed to be chosen.
So what sorts of people are chosen?Someone like Taylor Swift? Presumably she’s okay.
TDS assholes are everywhere.
Only Obama, MLK, Mark Ruffalo and Steven King were acceptable.
No, Fuentes is a gay play actor created to make conservatives look like idiots.
So the leftist counselor would fully support that choice.
What about Pol Pot? That okay with this school?
Try talking to any leftist about Fuentes and see what reaction you get.
That will eliminate any illusions you have on that topic.
Yeah, "Find Your Voice" - from among this curated list of six "approved" role models!
Sickening!
Regards,
Go full in and name US Capital Police Captain Michael Byrd as a role model.
Captain Byrd acted swiftly and decisively to murder an unarmed woman, possibly saving the lives of hundreds from her oncoming onslaught.
Captain Byrd was rewarded for his cowardice with a promotion, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, $122K from GoFundMe, a speaking tour and a presidential pardon.
Captain Byrd went from a bumbling AA hire, with a tarnished service record, to a national hero. That is the stuff of role models.

“Ive written my report on Charlie Kirk’s wife, and how she stood strong and kept his family supported through his assassination. It reminds me of my favorite Bible Verse...”
Choose George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse then
