Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, March 18, 2023

A formerly "woke" Latina mother has engaged in a nearly six-month battle with a Texas public school after a teacher played a game with students asking them to pose as "seducing hookers." On Sept 2, 2022, a teacher in a Social Emotional Learning class at KIPP Poder Academy, a public charter school, taught a role-playing game to students called Bear-Hunter-Hooker, an adult drinking game version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The seventh-grade students were asked to strike a pose in front of class as a "seducing hooker" with one hand on their hip and another behind their ear, a hunter, pointing an imaginary gun and a scary bear with its paws up. The object of the game is to show control over the pose struck by their peer.

KIPP is a private company running charter schools throughout the US. They have over 50 schools and over 34,000 students just in Texas alone.

Gracie must love them because one of the founders was forced to resign in 2018 after he was found to be grooming a middle school student and committing sexual misconduct with employees.

The school is based upon the teaching of a woman whose motto is "Knowledge is power, power is money, and I want it."

I was curious, so I visited a search engine and came up with this link...

The New York City Charter School Center helps new charter schools get started, supports existing schools, and builds community support so that highly effective schools can flourish.
nyccharterschools.org

...

141,000 charter students in all 5 boroughs

275 charter schools in NYC

18% of charter school students have IEPs (Individualized Education Program)

80% of charter school students are economically disadvantaged

What are Charter Schools?
Public charter schools are free public schools open to all students, including students with disabilities and multilingual learners. Charter schools are independent of the New York City Department of Education, which allows them the freedom to try new approaches, respond to community needs, and put student learning first. However, public charter schools are held accountable for advancing student achievement; if they do not meet their goals, a charter school can be closed.

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt the mother's claim of being "woke committed liberal" until this.

You can be pissed about this but if it makes you disregard your entire sense of justice and social acceptance...well, you didn't really have too strong a position to begin with.

Also, what the hell was the point of this? Without an explanation of why the game was used (what was the attempted lesson(s)) this whole story just seems odd.

It's a trash "source" from a trash state's trashiest trash.

"... this whole story just seems odd."

That's being charitable...

...horse manure would be a more accurate assessment.
