Was a 15-year-old Nevada student asked to read another student’s ‘sexual lesbian monologue’ aloud in class?
A Las Vegas school administrator has acknowledged a teacher assigned a student to recite another student’s sexualized monologue to the class. The monologue included profane language and sexual content, according to the student’s parents. The teacher was allegedly aware of the content and helped edited it prior to the student being asked to read it.
The 15-year-old student’s mother raised the issue at a Clark County School Board meeting but her microphone was cut after she began reading the monologue to the board. The student’s parents are suing the Clark County School District for the teacher’s actions, administrators’ actions afterward and the board’s handling of the mother’s comments during the public meeting.
