Teacher Asked Fifth-Grade Girls If They Were Lesbians In Front Of The Whole Class
February 26, 2020A mom in Florida has started homeschooling her daughter after her teacher left her too embarrassed to return to school after asking her and another fifth-grader if they were lesbians, in front of the whole class.
Jezenia Gambino said that there were rumors flying around the school about her daughter’s relationship with another female classmate and the rumors reached the teacher who confronted the pair in front of other classmates.
“She asked them if they were a couple together and she asked them in a way that they felt they were in trouble,” Gambino said.
Gambino's daughter had received a text from the female friend saying “she wasn't sure if they should hang out together anymore because of what happened in school.
“She [the friend] didn't want anyone to think they were gay,” Gambino stated.
After reaching out to the school, Gambino was furious to learn that the teacher was only given a verbal warning. She stated that “What they did affected my daughter in a way that now I'm having to go back and fix”, according to ‘Daily Mail’.
The Port St. Lucie school district says they "will not tolerate sexual harassment or any other form of illegal harassment by any of its employees, students, volunteers or agents.”
