A teacher handed out a worksheet to the students. The worksheet was a “Social Identity Wheel” that contained the following categories: racial, ethnic, gender, social economic status, physical, emotional or developmental disabilities, and sexual orientation. One of the students that wrote down “straight” was told to pick another term. The teacher described “straight” as “offensive.” The student’s mother confronted the school about this event.<\/p>\n

From The Daily Fetched:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“When filling out a Social Identity Wheel, he [her son] was told that if he identifies as straight, he needed to pick a term that was less offensive,” the mom wrote in a Sept. 24, 2023 email.<\/p>\n

“It is completely inappropriate to dictate what terms a student can and cannot use to identify themselves with,” the mom wrote in a Sept. 24, 2023 email.<\/p>\n

The school responded to the mother’s emails, thanking him for her feedback, but Golash denied that he specifically targeted her son.<\/p>\n

“I did not tell anyone what words they should use to identify themselves,” Golash wrote.<\/p>\n

“In fact, I stated explicitly that I was not going to tell them how they should identify except to explain the difference between race, ethnicity and nationality.”<\/p>\n

However, Golash admitted telling the entire class why he prefers not to use the term “straight.”<\/p>\n

“Because I think language has power and that it shapes the culture that we live in, I did say to the class, in response to a student, that I do not use the term ‘straight’ because it implies that to not be straight is to be ‘crooked’ which could have a negative connotation,” the teacher wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
