Edison High School Pride
The video shows the classroom of students watching the pride video while groaning and booing. One person can be heard asking, “Why are you showing this to kids?” The educator can then be heard telling the class that she will give them all Saturday detention if they don’t “act appropriately” and settle down. As noted in the article, the children supposedly looked uncomfortable with the content being shown, which included two women kissing during the LGBTQ Pride video that was allegedly played during math class.
The school is now garnering backlash for seemingly forcing the children to watch the pride content. The internet has also weighed in on the incident, with Reddit users discussing their opinions regarding what went down in this trending thread:
“How will this help kids learn math?” said one user.
“Watching political videos or face punishment? Sounds rather authoritarian to me,” stated another user.
According to this article, Edison High School has not yet addressed the video.
