A former student of a Long Island teacher accused of forcing a fifth-grade girl to go by male pronouns has claimed she once called his entire class “sexist little children” because they were only playing with classmates of the same gender.

The unnamed student alleged during a contentious school board meeting Monday night that the teacher, Debra Rosenquist, made the remark when he was in her fifth-grade class at Terryville Road Elementary School in Port Jefferson Station.

“One time, I think there were boys in the class and girls in the class and they were hanging out with each other,” the student said as he addressed the Comsewogue School District board.

“She yelled at the whole class that we were all little sexist children,” he continued.

“I was offended personally because my best friend in the class was a girl. It was like ‘Why would she do that to me, I was just a child.’ That affected me and made me very upset.”

Earlier, the student had claimed his teacher would “target me” in the classroom, adding: “I don’t know why, I’m assuming she just didn’t like me.”

The Comsewogue School District didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment Wednesday.

The student, who didn’t elaborate on when the alleged remarks were made, was among more than a dozen speakers — including parents and local residents — to address the school board meeting in the wake of the troubling lawsuit being filed.

The parents of a 9-year-old girl are suing Rosenquist and the Comsewogue School District over allegations that the teacher “forced” the child to go by a male name and pronouns, which confused her so much that she had suicidal thoughts.

Mentally ill people like fifth-grade teacher Debra Rosenquist should not be allowed near children. She should be committed to a facility for the safety of the community.

Shockingly, I believe she is still being allowed to teach classes.
Maybe the right sized lawsuit, one that includes the school administrators, will teach them how to change their ways.

what we are witnessing is teachers who have utter contempt for any students that do not think the same vile things that the woke crowd does- kids are going to schools with teachers that literally hate them if they think ‘wrong’-

It was God himself that gave girls cooties until near the age of puberty.

This allowed boys and girls to identify with their assigned gender roles and to not become confused.

Public schools are a weapon of war against the children and their parents.
