Parents Furious Over Math Teacher’s Use of Threats and Coercion to Make Students Watch “LGBT” Video

A controversy is stirring at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California, after parents raised concerns over a math teacher’s reported use of threats and coercion to force students to watch a video about LGBTQ+ Pride.


The incident reportedly occurred during a regular math class when the teacher played a Bolt TV episode that featured a video promoting LGBTQ+ Pride, according to R-let Vaz, whose daughter Ivory was one of the students and who recorded the incident.

The video was part of a routine broadcast by Bolt TV, the school’s student-produced and administration-approved channel.

However, the student’s reaction was far from uniform, as most students found the video very uncomfortable.

One student can be heard saying, “Why are you showing this to kids?”

The math teacher responded by criticizing the students for what she considered “inappropriate” behavior. The teacher insisted that the students watch the content or she would give them a Saturday school.

“I’ll warn you guys now. If you’re going to be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you a Saturday school for next year. So knock it off,” the math teacher said.

[b][i]With all the controversy nation wide over this very thing, one has to wonder - how stupid is that math teacher?

Oh, and kudos to the kid that questioned it.[/i][/b]

I wonder if there's a story from inside the classroom that was going on beforehand? Like in hard bullying of students towards a gay class mate. Of course, I wonder if it's needed in a math's class but from my own personal experience it's always better not to bully anyone

Yeah, I suppose, but you were pretty anxious to find reason to blame the students somehow - and it was the TEACHER being the bully. So, no heart for you!

@Budwick Oh, I see. You want to prove my point. Thank you!
