California High School Suspends Students For Five Days After ‘Misgendering’ Teacher – American Faith

A California high school suspended two children last year for “misgendering” a teacher, according to a local parent group.

The “misgendering” incident reportedly occurred at Herbert Hoover High School in the Glendale Unified School District, just outside of Los Angeles.

According to email records, the school also made the kids undergo “restorative justice” training.

“I suspended two students for five days each today and will be conducting RJ with students and teacher for the following,” former Principal Jennifer Earl wrote in May 2022.

“The students (not enrolled in his class) entered [the teacher’s] classroom one at a time and called him [a gender]. The teacher responded it is [a different gender identity] After doing so, they ran away. In interviewing them, they admitted to being curious about a transgender person,” Earl continued.

“I asked my teacher how he wanted to handle it, if he wanted me to just teach them about misgendering or would he like me to speak about being trans. He asked me to educate on transgender. It was well received from students and parents. RJ will happen after suspension,” the principal added.

From The Daily Wire:

A spokesperson for the Glendale school district said a student can be suspended if using the wrong pronoun escalates to harassment.

“A student has never been punished, much less suspended, for accidentally using the wrong pronoun to refer to a peer or staff member. However, a student could be suspended if the action escalated to harassment or bullying,” a district spokesperson told Fox News.
