I was forced to take action against my school district to stop forced speech, racist DEI

I am a high school English teacher caught in the middle of the national debate on DEI, gender, pronouns, identity, and “transition.”

Right here in the middle of the country—the Kansas City metro area—the once highly regarded Shawnee Mission School District, where I taught for seventeen years, has veered dramatically to the left, hiding political activism and encouraging a radical “woke” become’. “ideology instead of fair and balanced education.

Since 2019, when our mandatory Diversity, equality and inclusion The training has begun, teachers have been subjected to repeated White-shaming sessions addressing what the district calls “White Identity Orientation,” and we have been pressured to use psychological manipulation to, in the curriculum’s own words, “ to overcome resistance’.

The $400,000 Corwin DEI Curriculum our district embraces is rooted in radical Marxist extremism and indoctrinates with shocking anti-America, anti-family and anti-white propaganda.

The Corwin Curriculum focuses on DEI over academicswith a political ideology like this: “Since 90% of our nation’s teachers are white, achieving greater equity and excellence in public education is in large part a process of transforming the beliefs and behaviors of white educators .”

Through the mandatory DEI curriculum, white people are portrayed as the problem: “Together, they (white people) are experiencing a collective breakdown of the reality of race and their own whiteness,” and “white supremacist hate groups represent a particularly hostile form of fundamentalist behavior.” white identity, but there is also the Tea Party version that masks its racism under the guise of patriotism.”

Academics’ turn to political indoctrination is summed up by Corwin’s DEI programming in his own words: Teaching is “the redistribution of privilege in the service of social justice.”

After I wrote a letter asking our principal to request more balanced views without divisive, anti-white political ideology, the district subjected me to an “investigation” for “deadnaming” and then another mock investigation for “deadnaming.”Gender identity discrimination.”

The district found no evidence of discrimination (I try not to use pronouns), but it still punished me for using “incorrect pronouns one or a few times during the school year” – a claimed violation of a non-existent pronoun policy.

When teachers were told to hide from their parents that their minor children were experimenting with “transitioning” at school, I went out to explain to the taxpayers what was going on in the district, and to expose the controversial, race-based curriculum that the district refuses to release to taxpayers. to alert the public, warn about the reasons for the ever-increasing teacher shortage, and explain low student achievement rates.

For my efforts, I received tremendous public support, but also hateful comments, blatant misrepresentations of my views and actions, and faced an increasingly hostile work environment. As further punishment, I was stripped of my AP classes and forced to supervise team meetings for a year.

I appealed the discipline, tried to take my case to arbitration as provided for in the teacher contract, and even tried to get the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate. But the district declined to participate in the appeal or arbitration and ignored the EEOC’s request for information.

Are It is wrong to force teachers to go along with a lie and force them to hide information from their parents. It is equally wrong for the district to force us to say things we do not believe and that go against our religious or moral beliefs.

After exhausting all other available options over the past 19 months, the district left me no choice but to file a lawsuit. As a single mother on a teacher salary, I have tried to do everything I can to avoid this step, but there is no other solution.

The lawsuit details how the district fabricated allegations under a nonexistent policy because I objected to the corrosive, divisive DEI curriculum and because I object to being forced to say things I don’t believe.

I just want to teach kids and not be forced to lie to students, parents, or anyone else. I care about all my students – every single one of them. We must be kind, compassionate, and loving as we strive to give them the best education possible. I work on this every day, every year, with every student. But I refuse to mislead themand I will not be forced to say things that are not true or helpful.

When teachers enter the classroom, we do not leave our constitutionally protected freedoms at the door. In the best interests of our students and families who deserve better, and in the face of those in the district who try to bully me into submission, I am not afraid to stay true to my beliefs and values. If that means I have to go to court, so be it.
