What Are We Teaching Our Children?

On Monday, Newsbusters posted an article about a recent game the students played in a Texas school.

The article reports:

A Texas mother who is a self-described former “woke” liberal got some sense knocked into her and decided that the woke mob wasn’t so fool-proof after all.

Laura Maria Gruber said she recently removed her 13-year-old from a San Antonio school after finding out the child had been asked to play the role of a “seducing hooker” in her middle-school class. 

Honestly, based on the standards the public school system is setting these days, this news is far from surprising. 

The game was called “Bear-Hooker-Hunter,” according to Daily Mail, and is essentially an adult version of rock-paper-scissors. The young teens were reportedly told to strike poses at the front of their classroom and pretend they were a “hunter” with an imaginary gun, a “bear” with hands in a paw-like formation, or a “seducing hooker” with one of the child’s hands on his or her hip and the other hand behind the ear. When played against the hunter, the hooker character “seduces” him and wins.

While Gruber’s daughter refused to participate, other students were allegedly bribed with candy into playing the game.

The article notes:

The school did admit the game occurred, but four different levels of school administration “denied the game sexualized kids.” Said officials claimed the game was out of the school’s predetermined curriculum but that they had “no proof” that it was inappropriate, either “intentionally or unintentionally.”

I feel like having a kid present as a hooker is pretty sexualizing in and of itself, but good try.

In the end, the school did eventually apologize and claimed the game did not meet its “bar of excellence.”

“While we always chase excellence as a core value, sometimes we stumble,” the principal wrote in a letter to parents.

I think they should stick to rock-paper-scissors. The answer to this problem is for parents to get involved or when possible, remove their children from public schools.
