As I’ve repeatedly urged: homeschool your kids. Hardly a day goes by, after all, where we don’t learn of some new enormity perpetrated by a pervert with a piece of chalk. This latest one, though, takes the soggy biscuit.
A lesbian teacher was fired for directing girls in her French class to kiss during learning skits and lick each other while portraying farm animals.
Jennifer Honka, 50, was unanimously fired from Northeast Early College (NEC) by the Denver Public School Board on May 20 after a year of legal wrangling.
Let’s be honest, here: this isn’t a teacher – it’s a pervert using the classroom as their own private sex dungeon.
Honka had her high-school French students act out skits that required girls to kiss each other and, in one memorable effort, “act like animals and pretend to groom one another by licking”. The skits were supposedly to improve language skills. In reality they were an excuse to sexualise teenage girls in front of their peers, not to mention their creepy pervert of a ‘teacher’, while grading them on compliance.
Honka denies that the students were coerced. Yet, students who refused were given zeros. Others were ‘convinced’ they had to participate because the work was assessed. Only girls were cast in the kissing roles by their openly lesbian teacher, even though the class had boys. Funny about that.
“Regardless of whether [Honka] ‘forced’ the participants to kiss, her choice of script forced them to express their preferences and consent about a very personal and sexualized activity on the spot in front of their peers.”
That line comes from the administrative law judge who reviewed the case. He also noted that students were forced to decide, in front of the whole class, whether to dissent from their teacher’s direction on something intimate. Several students were visibly distressed. One girl’s attendance collapsed after she was pressured into kissing. Another left an English class in tears after describing what had happened in Honka’s class. A third ran out of Honka’s room crying when the teacher shared her own suicidal impulses.
That’s not all she (over)shared. She treated the classroom as a mix of a personal confessional and a fetish fantasy stage. While students drew family trees she announced that her son had been conceived through IVF using her uncle’s sperm. She told them about the physical abuse she suffered as a child and about an urge she once had to drive in front of a semi-truck. One student struggling with her own mental health fled the room.
Colleagues reported that students were openly distressed about going to Honka’s class. The teacher also bullied other staff, once marching her entire class into another teacher’s room to publicly reprimand her.
When the inevitable complaints arrived, Honka’s defence was the usual one: discrimination against her lesbian identity and retaliation because she was the union rep who had filed 18 grievances. She claimed the allegations came from students with “strong Christian backgrounds”. The reality was that this predator was too openly trawling for teen totty for even regular classroom creepozoids to endure. The school, the judge noted, was already welcoming of LGBTQ+ staff, several of whom used they/them pronouns. There was no evidence the complaints were religiously motivated.
“Her choice of skits, her implementation of them, and her repeated disclosure of sensitive and potentially traumatizing information amounted to incompetence and neglect of duty as it was shown to have negative effects on [Honka]’s students with little or no educational value.”
But she sure got off on it, obviously.
And we see the same pattern of official complicity that the churches have been rightly excoriated for. Even while she was still on paid administrative leave from Northeast Early College, Honka quietly started teaching English language development at an elementary school in another district. Her profile only disappeared from that school’s website after the firing became public.
The pattern is now so familiar that only a fool would keep sending children to the system that produces it. Homeschool your kids.
