A formerly “woke” Latina mother has engaged in a nearly six-month battle with a Texas public school after a teacher played a game with students asking them to pose as “seducing hookers.”
On Sept 2, 2022, a teacher in a Social Emotional Learning class at KIPP Poder Academy, a public charter school, taught a role-playing game to students called Bear-Hunter-Hooker, an adult drinking game version of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
The seventh-grade students were asked to strike a pose in front of class as a “seducing hooker” with one hand on their hip and another behind their ear, a hunter, pointing an imaginary gun, and a scary bear with its paws up. The object of the game is to show control over the pose struck by their peer.
When playing the “seducing hooker,” the student wins by “seducing” the hunter.
Laura María Gruber, expressed concerns about the lesson.
“I was a woke committed liberal until this game and school came into my life… seeing how KIPP exploited Latino children, and then how all the progressive politicians and organizations I sought support from didn’t give this issue a time of day…that really gave me an aha moment as to who’s really doing the work needed to stop the sexualization of kids,” Gruber said.
In February, school Principal Stephanie Lee sent a letter to parents.
“This game was not part of any KIPP curriculum, and it was not appropriate for students. Any activities with actions or words like ‘hooker’ or ‘seduce’ should never have a place in our schools. While the intent was never to sexualize a child, I recognize that the impact may have caused students to feel uncomfortable or traumatized. That does not honor the respect we aim to teach our students at all times; in truth, it is degrading,” Lee said.
Lee said the teacher “deeply regretted” playing the game.
“I apologize for not communicating sooner; after working with a concerned parent, we acknowledge that we should have shared the incident with you right away, address how we were handling this matter, and make resources available to parents for talking with their children – we promise to be more transparent in the future,” she added.
