What would you do if your 11-year-old son came home from school and asked what “fag” means? What would you do if he said his 5th-grade teacher urged his classmates to call him a fag? What would you do if your son broke down in tears when you defined fag for him?

What would you do if you found out that the teacher, besides urging peers to call your son a fag, has organized games of “fag tag” on the playground?

What would you do if you went to the school principal and district superintendent in distress, only to be told your son must either return to that teacher or transfer to an all-girls class?

This is not a thought experiment, it’s happening today in Talihina, Oklahoma

It’s happening right now to Amber and Jonathon Stepp and their 11-year-old son in the Talihina public school system. Amber and Jonathon say they’re shocked and saddened at the same time. Amber told local CBS affiliate News 5, “I’m supposed to trust this professional to teach my son positive things, not hatred?”

Jonathon added, “I never expected it to happen to anyone, let alone my own child.” He says his son asked him in tears, “Daddy, why would you call me that?”

1. Oklahoma is OK. /s

2. So much wrong here starting with FERPA!

No one is supposed to disclose a learning need of a student.

Teacher needs to go.
Kid suspended? Lawsuit time.

3. Let me guess - a card carrying member of the MAGA Fox Christian Taliban?

4. What is wrong with people?

The kid has a learning problem, kids are being segregated by gender. Why is he still employed?

I’ve been to Talihina multiple times in my life. How disappointing.

5. The American Taliban, aka Republican party, is out to destroy public education and you.

If you do not fit their extreme religious model, you will be attacked.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:

6. So many things wrong with this story I hardly know where to begin!!

7. Maybe it was about the "hypocrisy".

8. GOP wants to destroy public education and demonize the LGBT community.

They don't want to pay for America's educational system.

They don't want human rights.

They need to demonize various groups to justify their extreme ruthless behavior.
