The Cheney School District (CSD) in Washington, a few miles from Spokane and home to Eastern Washington University, is under scrutiny from parents after a ninth-grade English teacher, Jessie Mattingly, conducted a radical lesson on gender without the school board's endorsement. Parents argue the material constitutes ideological indoctrination rather than core education.
Amy King, a local business owner and grandparent of a Cheney High School student, expressed alarm when her student described the September lesson, noting such sensitive topics should be reserved for health classes, if taught at all. King believes the district is “sneaking” left-wing values past parents, a practice she claims her family has encountered before.
Public schools are laced with people like Jessie Mattingly.
Be informed, not misled.
