Kansas school asks students to name their role models. But not Charlie Kirk, President Trump or Jesus

Kansas school asks students to name their role models. But not Charlie Kirk, President Trump or Jesus

A formal complaint has been lodged against an elementary school in Kansas after the parents got to know about an assignment which was kept hidden from them. In October last year, the students were asked to pick their role models for an assignment. But they were asked not to pick Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump or Jesus Christ. The complaint said a school guidance counselor gave sixth-grade students an assignment called “Find Your Voice,” in which the students were asked to identify their role models. “When a student identified Charlie Kirk as a role model, the guidance counselor got very uncomfortable and refused to allow this name to be written on the board, yelling that he was ‘not a hero,’ and that he was not a role model,” the complaint read.Another student president Donald Trump to get the same response from the guidance counselor. “When another student selected President Donald J. Trump as a role model, [the guidance counselor] reiterated her prohibition even more angrily, stating that students could not write political or religious figures on the board, and in fact excluded political and religious topics altogether,” the complaint read.The complaint, filed by the American Center for Law & Justice, cited a parent who told that when one student chose Jesus, it was rejected too. The American Center for Law & Justice argued that “the selective prohibition created immediate confusion among students about whose voices were valued and whose were not.”The students were instructed to not to inform their parents about this incident, the complaint said. “This directive, instructing children not to report concerns to their parents … violates fundamental principles of parental rights, educational ethics and child safety,” the group said.“Our client has been forced to withdraw her children rather than continue to subject them to these practices,” the group said.“We are aware of this incident and are always working with families and our school staff to make sure every learning activity is a positive and encouraging experience for every student,” teh school principal said in a statement. “We are unable to comment on the individuals involved because of our commitment to the privacy of our students and employees. This information is also protected by confidentiality laws.”
