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 – in the Kansas City metro area – the once top-rated Shawnee Mission School District, where I taught for 17 years, has shifted sharply to the left, hiding its political activism and pushing a radical “awake”. “ideology in place of a fair and balanced education.

Since 2019, when our mandatory Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training began, teachers were subjected to repeated white shaming sessions that addressed what the district calls “white identity orientation,” and we were pressured to use psychological manipulation to, in the program’s own words, “overcoming resistance.”

The $400,000 Corwin DEI program adopted by our district has its roots in radical Marxist extremism and is indoctrinated with shocking anti-American, anti-family, and anti-white propaganda.

The Corwin program focuses on DEI rather than academicswith a political ideology such as this: “Since 90 percent of our nation’s teachers are white, achieving greater equity and excellence in public education is largely a transformative process beliefs and behaviors of white educators. »

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

The diversion of academics into political indoctrination is summed up in Corwin’s DEI program’s own words: To teach is to “redistribute privilege in the service of social justice.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT DEI TRAINER SAYS AMERICAN FLAG IS BECOMING SYMBOL OF “HATE” AND EMPLOYEES RESISTING CRT SHOULD BE FIRED

After I wrote a letter asking our superintendent to demand more balanced opinions without divisive, anti-White political ideology, the district subjected me to an “investigation” for “deadly naming” and then another fictitious “investigation” For “gender identity discrimination“.

The district found no evidence of discrimination (I try not to use pronouns), but they still disciplined me for using “incorrect pronouns on one or two occasions during the school year.” – an alleged violation of a non-existent pronoun policy.

When teachers were asked to hide from parents that their minor children were experiencing “transition” at school, I went public to explain to taxpayers what was happening in the district, denouncing the controversial race-based curriculum that the district refuses to disclose. the public, warns of the reasons for the worsening teacher shortage and explains low student achievement.

For my efforts, I received enormous public support, but also hateful reactions, blatant misrepresentations of my positions and actions, and faced an increasingly hostile work environment. As further punishment, I was removed from my AP classes and had to participate in supervised team meetings for a year.

I appealed the disciplinary decision, tried to take my case to arbitration as required by the teacher’s contract, and even tried to take the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate. But the district did not want to participate in the appeal or arbitration and ignored the EEOC’s request for information.

It is it’s wrong to force teachers to accept a lie and force them to hide information from parents. It’s just as wrong for the district to force us to say things we don’t believe in and that go against our religious or moral beliefs.

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

The lawsuit details how the district fabricated allegations under a nonexistent policy because I opposed the caustic and divisive DEI program and because I object to being forced to say things I don’t believe not.

I just want to teach kids and not have to lie to students or parents or anyone. I care about all of my students – every single one of them. We must show kindness, compassion and love while striving to provide them with the best education possible. I work in this direction every day, every year, with every student. But I refuse to deceive themand I will not be forced to say things that are not true or helpful.

When teachers enter the classroom, we don’t leave our constitutionally protected freedoms at the door. In the best interest 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.
