Unless you actively have kids of the age of going to school, there's no way you know how bad so much of the public education system has become, largely because these people are teaching your kids. Ever since before we even became parents, my husband and I have been really passionate about the idea of wanting to homeschool our kids. Frankly, so grateful that getting married in the Catholic Church means that you have to have these conversations before you ever get married. And in fact, during our pre Cana wedding retreat, my husband actually wrote on his little questionnaire, how do you plan to to educate your kids while we separated men and women and then came back together? And one of the reasons I knew I needed to marry this man is he wrote in his booklet, public schools are government indoctrination camps designed to turn your children into leftist robots. But in all seriousness, he's not entirely wrong. Because the more I have done digging on how bad public education has become in America, the more I am horrified by how many stories just like these ones are becoming mainstream every day, mostly with teachers that have some sort of agenda to go after your kids in a disgusting, perverted grooming way. This used to be like a fringe crazy way out of left field conspiracy theory. But with every passing day, more and more stories continue to bubble to the surface just like these. And it's probably why homeschooling is at an all time high in the United States of America right now and why I believe public education will not exist the way it does today within our lifetime. I grew up about 30 minutes outside of Denver, not in this School district, Denver Public Schools, but in an adjacent one. And the other day opened my phone to see this horrifying story. This is Jennifer Honka, who was a foreign language teacher in Denver public schools for 50 years, teaching French language and culture for her entire time within Denver Public Schools, the district, eight years. Jennifer taught at a school called Northeast Early College, which is a high school program in Denver designed to help you get an associate's degree before you even get to college. And it was there that she taught French language and culture to high schoolers before she was dismissed by Denver Public Schools unanimously from the school board just a few days ago for incompetence and neglect of duty. Why? What'd she do? Her students started approaching other teachers at the school, letting them know that in Jennifer Honka's class, same sex partners paired up in groups of girls or boys, respectively, were forced to perform skits where they made out with each other in class and then were graded on how well they made out together by their teacher in French class. CBS News reported that one student came forward to her chemistry teacher back in April of 2020. This woman just lost her job like five minutes ago. And the report that was written about the situation two years ago said this. The student was very uncomfortable and did not know what to do. She went ahead and kissed another student at Honka's direction. The student then shared a digital meme with the chemistry teacher that included a picture of Hanka and the caption, she makes girls kiss. The meme had circulated among the students. After this incident, the student's attendance at school decreased dramatically. Yeah, you don't say. Once the review actually kicked off, leading to this teacher's termination. Another student's said that Jennifer Honka always selected girls to participate in the skits. One other student came forward to her English teacher and said that she had been forced to kiss three other girls in her class at her teacher's direction. And one other student remaining anonymous, told the review board for this review that their teacher would enforce one specific rule before any of the skits ever played out in class. The answer is always yes. Meanwhile, this teacher had openly disclosed to her class, and regularly liked to talk about it, that she identified as a member of the LGBTQ community and specifically was openly a lesbian. At one point, a police report was filed in all of this and leave it to Denver police. Zero criminal charges were ever issued from the filing of that police report, now represented by the teachers union. This psychotic woman who has been a teacher for 24 years is not admitting that maybe she went too far in making students, teenagers, children feel uncomfortable in lesbian makeouts, skits in French class, or admitting that she even made anyone feel a little uneasy. Instead, she's telling investigators that she is the victim of discrimination because of her status as a lesbian teacher. And she has filed 18 grievances against the school district, Denver Public Schools, because of course, because of course, nothing else remotely even could possibly surprise me with how horrifying Colorado and specifically Denver Public Schools really have become. Other news reporting on this story from the Daily Mail says there were also other horrifying things happening in Jennifer's classroom, including forcing students to act like farm animals, pretending to groom and actually lick one another in class. And after all that, within days, Jennifer Honka was given a new job in an adjacent public school district, in the Adams Public School District, at an elementary school. Because what else could possibly make sense in the world that we're living in? Sadly, this is not a one of one extraordinary circumstance, at least anymore in America. This is just one of countless stories of teachers attempting to groom their students and do absolutely outrageous things to fulfill their own twisted, perverted adult desires. And who is paying the price? Our kids, the next generation. When it comes to these ridiculously weak districts that refuse to fire these people, and frankly, police departments that refuse to press charges. I have no idea how these people sleep at night, but I'll tell you how I sleep at night. Perfectly. Ever since my family switched to a Helix mattress about a year ago. Honestly, I didn't realize how bad my sleep was with the things that I could control. Not a screaming baby in the other room every single night, but a bad mattress that I had ordered off of Amazon when I was like 21. Because that's what we all did until I took the steps to concretely fix it as a new ish Still Mom, I run super hot at night. I toss and turn all night. I'm always worried about my daughter in the other room. But the cooling technology on a Helix mattress has been a total game changer, especially in the summer in the swamp in Washington D.C. which I have escaped for a few days up in beautiful Alaska. Don't worry, fun content coming from that too. But Helix is not one size fits all for exactly what I need.

That's helixsleep.com Isabelle it was just two years ago, around the time that students first started coming forward for Jennifer's case, where one high school student recorded her teacher attempting to recruit her high school students to live at a compound that was allegedly a sex cult. Don't take my word for it, though.

For what? Whoever, whatever tribe members want to stick with me. I'm going to build a little farm community and we can just live our lives however we want. If you want to be a nudist, be a nudist, but there will be background checks on you because we will have children here and we will have

We will have children living on our farm compound where if you want to be a nudist, just be a nudist. And again, it wasn't the teacher that initially received the backlash to this. It was the student who was told that by recording this, you committed multiple felonies. Delete the video immediately. This is that teacher, by the way. Again, not another isolated incident. In April, there was a teacher in Delaware at Glasgow High School named Christina who was running a secret LGBTQ society for kids behind anyone's back. Why it needs to operate in secret, I'll let you make that assumption for yourself. Who was then named teacher of the Year. Here's her explanation.

So I run the Pride Club at my school, and I'm having kind of an issue with another teacher in the school building right now. I have a couple kids who have come to me and told me that she has called them out in the middle of class for being gay. She said some pretty terrible things about me and the club, telling kids that she thinks it's stupid and a waste of time. And, you know, we're pulling kids out of her class, which technically, yes, you know, we are pulling kids out of the class, but it's only for 30 minutes a week and it's on Mondays. So the last, like, 30 minutes of first period, the kids come to me. I understand that, you know, the kids are coming to my class during another class period. I have okayed this with my administration, with my Principal, my admin, all that because the kids told me straight up, they were like, we don't want to have it after school just in case, because some of their parents don't know. It would make them feel more comfortable. Comfortable to just, you know, do it at school. That way it's a little more, you know, discreet. So it is completely okay with my admin that I am running this club during school hours. And again, it's only 30 minutes a week. However, this teacher is now crossing a line. She is calling out my kids. She is saying extremely homophobic things. She's bashing the community and the club itself, and I'm kind of fed up with it.

So let me understand this correctly. Not only are you running a secret pride club for kids because you don't want their parents to know that they may be struggling with their identity and struggling with something like mental illness related to gender dysphoria. Totally normal behavior. Not at all concerning at all. You're operating in the middle of school, so you're pulling kids from their first period classes so that they can talk about sex and gender. Transition surgeries. What?

Last April, another trans teacher celebrated Trans Day of Visibility by dancing around in his classroom wearing a crop top and performing in drag. Not when any of the kids were in the classroom, but you got to wonder if you're posting this all over your social media saying, happy Trans Day of Visibility. As a proud trans teacher, I know the impact we can have on the people around us by just being unapologetically ourselves. It's not always easy, but it's important. This person is teaching your kids. So that's nice.
- [11:41]
C
Oh, that's real nice.

And the Jennifer story out of Colorado isn't the only insane story related to all of this that happened this week. This is Torrey Long, who is a man who adopted a woman's identity when he started teaching at Hemet High School Public School in California. He is also suing his school for discrimination because he was not initially allowed to supervise female students in the women's locker room.

Are you a pedophile getting ready for

B
sports practice or gym class or just having a moment to themselves? This lawsuit hasn't been dismissed. This person hasn't been fired. The lawsuit is still pending. Because we live in a world and we operate in a public school system that would rather see perverted, disgusting adult men win discrimination lawsuits to be in places with naked, underage teenage girls than to protect the teenage girls in the first place.
- [12:37]
C
Yeah, that's right.

This video could have been like 16 hours long. I spent probably 45 seconds sourcing just the few examples that I showed you today. But this and a million other reasons are exactly why my husband and I will never, ever, ever allow our daughter to step foot into a public school. At least until college. By then, who knows what the college system is even going to look like. But I think we have to stop operating under this assumption that these are crazy, fringe, extraordinary examples. Because every day on social media, on college campuses, speaking across the country, I meet people with real lived experiences just like these. I've met real teachers having to deal with this. Yes, there are people attempting to recruit your kids into sex cults when they are 16 and 17 years old in public high schools. I have met real people with real lived experiences of all of this. And we, as the next generation of parents, have an opportunity to say never ever, ever again. Are you sending your kids, if they are of school age, to public schools, and if so, why? Or is it something that, like me, you're vehemently against? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
