(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) A woke high school math teacher in California recently threatened to punish some high school students for their reaction to a Pride video shown in class.
According to a Fox News report, the teacher at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California, played an LGBTQ+ video to the students and threatened to punish them after seeing their reactions to the video.
In a video filmed by one of the students in the class, several students protested, saying “stop” and asking the teacher to “turn it off.” One of the students also asked, “Why are you showing this to kids?”
However, the teacher responded, “Hey, I’ll warn you guys now, if you’re going to be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you Saturday school for [indiscernible]. So knock it off.”
A parent at the school reportedly shared the video on social media, and it immediately went viral as Robby Starbuck, a well-known conservative commentator, shared it on Twitter.
“Parents of kids at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California, say this video was played to their kids in math class,” Starbuck wrote in his tweet with the video, which got over 10 million views. “The kids clearly didn’t want to watch this pride video, so the teacher threatened them with Saturday school to get them to watch it.”
An LGBTQ supporter defended the Pride video, saying it was simply a message about love and acceptance and should not have gotten the reaction it did from the students.
The individual shared the full video on Twitter with the caption, “Here is the video that was shown at Edison High. It’s a simple explanation of #Pride month and does not show two women kissing, just their heads together. The message of this video is to love and accept everyone on campus. That is all.”

However, the original poster of the video noted that the teacher played the said video to the students in all classes that day.
The conservative commentator also wrote in another tweet, “Some 10th-grade students came forward to tell me that this video was played in ALL classes that day, not just math class. They’re upset about it and want the school to refrain from playing videos like this.”
