At least two families have pulled their children out of a Pennsylvania middle school due to its “‘woke’ agenda,” citing how, among numerous things, children are not allowed to wear the American flag, but “boys were encouraged to wear dresses” at the school’s Gay Pride Month celebrations.
“The last thing I wanted to do was to transfer my son for his 8th-grade year, but enough is enough,” parent Jim Jacobs told the Delaware Valley Journal about his decision to transfer his son out of Stetson Middle School, located in West Chester, Penn.
“At Stetson, there is no freedom of speech but freedom of ‘woke’ speech. The tolerance promoted by Diversity/Equity/Inclusion is not practiced towards those who have disagreements with or dare to question the ‘woke’ agenda,” Jacobs said. His brother also decided to transfer his children out of the West Chester Area School District into private Catholic schools due to concerns over cultural indoctrination.
During Gay Pride Month in June, Jacobs’ son was disciplined for wearing Uggs that officials said were slippers, despite the fact that the student wore the Uggs before without a problem.
“So my son gets disciplined for wearing Uggs (which are said to not adhere to the dress code), but boys are encouraged to wear dresses and male teachers can teach in stilettoes! Really?” Jacobs said. “I called Assistant Principal (James) DeWitt to ask if that was true. He verified it and told me that ‘boys dressing as girls and a male teacher wearing high heels is perfectly acceptable and not in violation of the dress code.'”
