If you think your school is safe from crazy, think again. This Texas mom of a middle-schooler picked her daughter up from school one day to find out that her daughter was in a classroom where a game of “Bear-Hooker-Hunter” was played. I didn’t know what that was, either, until I read the article and found out that it is an adult version of Rock-Paper-Scissors. What does that have to do with learning anything in middle school, you ask?
The answer to that is nothing. Absolutely freaking nothing.
What you won’t find surprising is that the teacher of the class is relatively young, probably pretty fresh out of a liberally-indoctrinated university, and dumber than a box of rocks (yep…I’m making that assumption based on what kids learn in college these days – come at me).
The mother – Laura Gruber – purposefully put her daughter in this San Antonio school, because it was known to be progressive, what with all its focus on diversity and inclusion and whatnot.
But then her daughter told her about the game she was subjected to in the “Social Emotional Learning Class” at Kipp Academy (which sounds pretty swanky, because it has “Academy” after the name, but that’s neither here nor there):
As part of the game, Gruber said her daughter and the other seventh graders in the Social Emotional Learning class at KIPP Poder Academy had to pair up and stand in the front of the room.
The kids were then told to strike poses — either as a hunter, pointing an imaginary gun at each other; as a scary bear with its paws up, or as a “seducing hooker,” with a hand on one hip and another behind their ear, the distraught mom said.
The goal of the game was unclear other than being some sort of “team building” exercise, said Gruber, who felt the game sexualized the children.
Her daughter declined to play the game, Gruber said.
The boys and girls were organized from youngest to oldest, with some allegedly bribed with candy to get them to play along, the daughter told the mom.
Yikes.
Gruber pulled her daughter out of school, demanded an apology, and it took the school SIX MONTHS to give her one. Nothing like giving a crap about the kids and parents, amirite?
PROGRESSIVISM!
This is what they had to say:
Despite having kids pose as “seducing hookers,” four levels of KIPP administration — School Principal Stephanie Lee, Deputy Superintendent Jeremy Gray, Regional Superintendent Allen Smith and KIPP Texas CEO Sehba Ali — denied the game sexualized children.
“While we always chase excellence as a core value, sometimes we stumble,” Lee wrote in a Feb. 16 letter to school families.
The principal admitted, however, that the “game Bear-Hooker-Hunter….did not meet our bar of excellence.”
Yeeeeah. MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS role-playing as SEDUCTIVE hookers in one of their freaking classrooms isn’t sexualizing children at ALL, Stephanie. So why, exactly, why is it “stumbling, then?” Because a girl told her Mom about it? Because y’all got caught being skeevy jackholes? Or just because you feel as though the WORD “hookers” is so hurtful? Semantics are everything to progressives, after all.
The teacher wasn’t fired – she just “regretted” what she did. Lord knows she’ll more than likely get a promotion and work her way up to getting Stephanie’s job in the next few years, because our educational system is beyond borked.
Also, I hope Mom up there reconsiders the whole “I’m a liberal progressive” stance in life. How’s that working out for your family so far, Mrs. Gruber?

I wonder if the progressive mother has been mugged by reality or if she is still stupid?
Correction they did not get rid of it because of the hooker angle.
The part that was beyond the pale was playing the hunter. It was a safety issue. everyone knows pointing an imaginary gun at others is dangerous, the sign of a deranged mind, and grounds for immediate dismissal for the remainder of the school year.
