**Unacceptable: School District Promotes Pornography Under the Guise of Art**
In a shocking breach of trust, a school district in New York has come under fire for exposing seventh-grade students to explicit material, cloaked as an "art project."
The Watertown City School District is facing severe backlash after parents discovered that a teacher had assigned students to visit an unvetted website containing graphic sexual images as part of a class assignment.
Reports indicate that the teacher, Ms. Bridgette Gates, displayed these inappropriate images on a Smart Board, acknowledging their inappropriateness while instructing students to simply "ignore them and be mature."
This disturbing incident raises serious questions about the educational priorities in our schools.
Parents Stephanie Boyanski and Jessy Roberts were horrified to learn of the explicit content assigned to their children, which included graphic images accessible for weeks without any parental notification or opt-out options. One of the students who viewed the material is a survivor of sexual assault and is now dealing with traumatic memories triggered by this assignment.
In response to this outlandish behavior, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has stepped in to seek accountability.
They released a statement condemning the assignment and demanding a thorough investigation into the teacher's actions, alongside a formal reprimand and the establishment of policies to ensure that children are not subjected to sexually explicit content without parental consent.
This scandal highlights a critical issue facing many parents across the country – the increasing liberal agenda infiltrating our educational institutions.
Parents learn of these incidents, often only by chance, thus pointing to a broader problem where schools appear to act independently of parental oversight and rights.
The ACLJ’s findings have further revealed that this was not a random mistake but rather a calculated decision by the teacher to promote inappropriate material in the classroom.
In a shameful display of unity, the local teachers' union even mobilized members to attend a school board meeting in support of the accused educator, boldly dismissing concerned parents as mere "internet warriors."
This ongoing saga underscores the vitally important role of parents in the educational experience of their children.
For over a century, the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional rights of parents to direct their children's upbringing and education.
As these parents stand firm against the educational establishment’s encroachment, they remind us all that parental vigilance is paramount in safeguarding the well-being and values of our children.
With national conversations about education becoming increasingly urgent, the situation in Watertown serves as a call to action for parents everywhere to scrutinize what is being taught in their children’s schools.
It is time for a collective stand against radical ideologies that seek to normalize inappropriate content inside our classrooms.
