I am a high school English teacher. stuck 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 metropolitan area – the once-best Shawnee Mission school district, where I have taught for 17 years, has veered sharply to the left, hidden its political activism and fueled a radical movement of “wake up”. “ideology instead of a fair and balanced education.

Since 2019, when our obligation Diversity, Equity and Inclusion As training began, 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, ” overcome resistance.”

The $400,000 Corwin DEI curriculum our district adopts is rooted in radical Marxist extremism and indoctrinated with shocking anti-US, anti-family, and anti-white propaganda.

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

Through the mandatory DEI curriculum, white people are portrayed as the problem: “Together they (white people) are experiencing a collective breakdown over 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 Tea Party version that masks its racism with the appearance of patriotism.

The move away from academics toward political indoctrination is summed up in Corwin’s DEI programming in his own words: Teaching is “redistributing privileges 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 bogus “investigation” for “discrimination based on gender identity“.

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

When teachers were told 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, expose the controversial curriculum based on race that the district refuses to disclose to the public, warns about the reasons for the worsening teacher shortage and explains low student achievement numbers.

For my efforts, I received tremendous public support, but also hateful reactions, blatantly false representations of my positions and actions, and faced an increasingly hostile work environment. As additional punishment, I was stripped of my AP classes and required to supervise team meetings for a year.

I appealed the discipline, tried to take my case to arbitration as provided in the teaching 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.

Is It is wrong to force teachers accept a lie and force them to hide information from 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 options available to me over the past 19 months, the district left me no choice but to file a lawsuit. As a single mother on a teacher’s salary, I tried to do everything I could to avoid having to take this step, but there is no other choice.

The lawsuit details how the district fabricated allegations under a nonexistent policy because I objected to DEI’s caustic and divisive 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. I care about all my students, every one of them. We must be kind, compassionate, and loving as we strive to provide them with the best education possible. I work toward that end 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 useful.

When teachers enter the classroom, we do not 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.
