An Eastvale mother is furious after discovering a video showing her daughter’s preschool teacher leading a political chant in which the 4 and 5-year-old students were calling for President Joe Biden to leave office.
“I was just in shock,” said Christina McFadden, who told Eyewitness News the video was posted on a school messaging app that is used to communicate with parents. The incident allegedly happened on Feb. 18 at Turning Point Christian School in the city of Norco.
“I had to watch it multiple times to realize, is this really happening?” McFadden said.
The video lasts only about eight seconds. You can hear a teacher asking the students, “Who’s our President.” The students then respond in unison, “Biden!” The teacher then asks the students “What do we want to do with him?” and the students respond twice, “We want him out!”
McFadden said when she picked up her daughter from school that afternoon, one of the first things she referenced was the chant.
“The first thing she said to me when I picked her up was ‘We want him out,'” said McFadden. “That was the great message she learned that day. Her first history lesson.”
McFadden said the video was removed from the messaging app about three hours after it was first posted. In its place, a school administrator left a message for the families to whom the video was sent:
“We use Brightwheel as a parent communication app to share about your child’s day and activities. Earlier today a video was posted that has since been deleted as it did not share our school and church philosophy of honoring and respecting authority including those in government positions,” the message said.
The message continued, “We are sorry for any misunderstanding this could of (sic) created. With courtesy towards the families of our campus and the children in the classroom I am asking you to please not share with others or post the video on any social media platform.”Eyewitness News reached out to Turning Point Christian School by phone and email and did not immediately receive a response. It’s unclear what, if any, disciplinary action was taken against the teacher.
Dr. Tyrone Howard, a professor of education at UCLA, said he doesn’t feel what was shown in the video is appropriate behavior by the teacher.
“I’ve always believed the role of teachers is not to indoctrinate students about what to think,” said Howard. “It’s to help develop critical thinking skills so students can make their own decisions.”
“I know private schools operate under a different set of guidelines and procedures,” Howard continued. “But I don’t know even in a private domain that those leadership officials would want teachers telling their students what to think about a particular political figure.”
McFadden said the school did not tell her whether the teacher was disciplined, only saying she had been “repentant” and had learned from her mistake. She only posted the video online, after blurring everyone’s faces, when she didn’t feel the school’s response was adequate.
“It doesn’t matter, at this point, which side of the fence you’re on. This can happen in your child’s classroom, and it is happening,” said McFadden.






























































































The number of people that get sexual reassignment surgery is extremely small as a percentage of the population. The number that participate in sports is even smaller. It’s certainly nt a problem that needs to be addressed in Congress or in the state legislatures. Let the governing bodies of the various sports address it.
Nebulous
A) If you’re not good enough to be competitive on the men’s team, you’re sure not going to be making records on the women’s team. There’s not THAT much difference in most sports.
B) Would anybody actually believe that a jock would want to become a woman and draw the ire of conservative homophobes and transphobes merely because he’s not the top man on the team?

So show me this line of young men eager for surgery or chemical castration so they can compete in women’s sports!
And you can’t. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. A tiny handful of people on hormones or who’ve had surgery want to compete and that’s a national issue because Tucker and his buddies say it is. Why?
Their usual whine is “gender assigned at birth”. Yet the briefest possible glance at Caspar Semenya’s Wikipedia page clearly says HER gender assigned at birth was female, and she’s never taken hormone therapy of any kind. But SHE has issues being allowed to compete.
I’m sure she’s grateful to all you Qubs. /s
And, just to get the rest of the story:
THIS is what Qublicans usually cite about cisgender sport:
ally includes suppressing testosterone levels and boosting estrogen.
The research was carried out by Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and associate professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and his colleagues. They found that trans women who underwent hormone therapy for one year continued to outperform non-transgender women, also known as cisgender women, though the gap largely closed after two years. But even then, trans women still ran 12% faster.
HOWEVER they leave off this part (usual Qub partial quotes) :
Roberts, however, suggested the difference in running times needs additional perspective. “It was a 12% advantage after two years in run times. But to be in the top 10% of female runners, you have to be 29% faster than the average woman. And to be an elite runner, you’ve got to be 59% faster than the average cis woman,” he told DW.
