WFHS teacher assignment: Spy on parents, students, other teachers

News

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A recent West Forsyth High School graduate told the Board of Education that a sociology, psychology class assignment during her senior year required students to spy on their parents, teachers and fellow students to report derogatory statements they make about certain classes of people.

Caroline Andrews said, “So I had a Forsyth County school teacher tell me I should listen to the language of my parents and spy on them. I think that is entirely inappropriate and I think that should be investigated.”

The assignment, which was entitled Tracking Prejudice Speech in School, directed the class to track derogatory comments heard during a school day about racial/ethnic minorities, women, religious groups, different sexual orientation and the physically and mentally handicapped and to keep a tally of how many times each group has been spoken about in a derogatory manner that day. It also directed students to “DO THIS PRIVATELY.”

She presented a copy of the assignment to support her claim.

She also called on the Board to stop creating classes like the new Women’s Study class. The teacher in question, Andrews said, serves on the advisory board for the class.

“Do you think this type of politics won’t make its way into these intro classes? So I am here tonight to ask the Board to please, please, please stop implementing these classes because they will be methods to teach cultural Marxism to students and please investigate any teachers that are trying to get students to turn against their parents.

“I’ve studied history. I know what happened in the cultural revolution of China. This kind of assignment that led to that and I think it should be investigated.”

Board members did not respond to our request for comment on this article nor have they responded to Ms. Andrews.
