BREAKING NEWS – Seattle, Washington – A history teacher at a Seattle high school who previously came under fire for lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity allegedly told students that identifying as “straight” is offensive.
Ian Golash, who is the social studies department chair at Chief Sealth International High School, also told some male students they are a “product of the patriarchy that teaches young boys not to care,” according to a parent who filed a complaint with school officials.
The mother, who requested anonymity, said her 15-year-old son labeled himself “straight.” Golash then allegedly told the boy that he needed to pick a term that was less offensive.
“I want you to give yourself a label that gives the classroom a hint of your secret perversions,” Golash said to the young boy. “I can stimulate your thought process, by showing some videos of what I did on my last date.”
