“It’s not a tumor!” — Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kindergarten Cop (1990)
That line is famous. But here’s the one that matters for this column:
“Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.” — Kindergarten Cop (1990)
The Kenosha Unified School District disagrees. And that tells you everything you need to know about where KUSD has gone.
One Name on the Staff Directory
Go to the Indian Trail High School staff directory. It is arranged alphabetically. There are 154 names beginning with “Ms.” or “Mr.” Then, right at the top of the list, there is one that stands alone. Not “Ms. Anderson.” Not “Mr. Anderson.” Just: Anderson. Like Seal, Prince, or even McLovin.
This is a woman. She dresses like a man, wears her hair short, and by all appearances wishes to present as male. That is her right. We live in the United States of America. What she wears to work is her business.
But what she demands that students call her is another matter entirely. According to sources familiar with the situation, she insists on being addressed simply as “Anderson” — no title, no honorific.
I went to Catholic school. I once watched a student call a teacher “Fitzgibbons” and get snapped at immediately: “There should be a ‘Mr.’ before Fitzgibbons!” That’s how most people my age and older were brought up. Titles are not about gender politics — they are about basic professional courtesy. You do not call your doctor by their last name alone. You do not address a judge without a title. Why should a classroom be different?
And yet here we are, with KUSD implicitly endorsing a standard where a teacher can simply opt out of professional norms because of their personal gender identity. That is not a small thing. It sends a message to students about what is negotiable and what is not.
Teacher Frederick at Bullen
Head over to the Bullen Middle School staff directory and scroll through. You will find a teacher who is clearly a woman. She has neon green hair. Again: her right, entirely. This is America.
But then read what she reportedly told a parent via email: “I have students refer to me as ‘Teacher Frederick’ as I don’t use Miss/Ms.”
She is a woman. She works with middle schoolers. And KUSD is apparently perfectly comfortable with the school institution — using taxpayer money and compulsory attendance — requiring children to adopt language that erases basic grammatical and biological reality.
These are not isolated staff quirks. They are district-sanctioned norms. KUSD has been directing students to use teachers’ preferred pronouns and preferred titles, including “they/them” pronouns for individuals who are, by all biological indicators, one sex or the other. The grammar alone is a problem: “they” is a plural pronoun being forced into singular usage in a professional instructional setting. KUSD is not just endorsing a social position — it is compelling speech.
The Club at Bradford High School
Now we arrive at Bradford High School, where KUSD has sanctioned a Gender and Sexuality club for students. The club is paid for by taxpayer dollars and carries the full institutional backing of the district.
Kenosha County Eye asked our readers a simple question: should KUSD allow such a club? The response was immediate and substantial. Here is a representative sample of what the community had to say.
Many readers were direct in their opposition:
“They already have those clubs. It’s called a mental hospital.” — Chad Cowart
“This is a disgrace and pathetic. This is why I drive my kids 35 minutes to school west of the interstate. Bunch of mentally ill adults that want to poison and create mentally ill children.” — Anthony Simonovich
“Absolutely not. Their job is to teach reading, writing, math, history, science, and geography. Nothing more. That’s for parents to decide.” — Donna Halvorsen
“This district needs to learn to do what they were created to do and stay in their lane. Let parents handle those topics when and if they feel ready to do so with their children.” — Karina Luna
“The role of the teacher is not doctor, is not therapist, but is educator about matters that require specific academic development to prepare them for the working world. That’s it.” — Cody James
“How about they concentrate on teaching kids how to read and do math. Wow, what a concept, teaching at school.” — Dawn Santoro
“My tax dollars need to provide a ‘regular’ curriculum because apparently, according to the polls, the schools aren’t rated very high.” — Mary Pat
Supporters of the club argued from a student welfare standpoint:
“Suicide rates and bullying are very high for that particular group of children. They need and deserve to know there are people out there who understand what they are experiencing.” — Kelly L’n
“It gave the students who wanted to participate a safe place to gather, discuss, and to feel ‘normal’ among their peers. It was supervised by the grade level counselor.” — Tabitha Miller
“Nobody is forcing your kids to go. It’ll be there for the ones who want it. And if nobody goes, then it’ll close.” — Danny Constabileo
The reaction from the community was swift. Readers who opposed the club did not mince words:
“No — children can’t make those decisions, and KUSD should not encourage that delusion.” — Itz Mae
“You’re born a male or female. No other genders are real. Bring back common sense and morals. Put God back in our schools.” — Knapp Jay
“The fact that this is even a debate is crazy. Super happy my kids are homeschooled.” — Marco Estrada
The Real Issue
Let’s be honest about what is happening here. The suicide rate and bullying concern is real, and nobody in good conscience dismisses suffering children. But a school district does not solve those problems by institutionalizing a contested ideological framework into the classroom and extracurricular calendar.
There is a difference between a school being kind to struggling kids — which it absolutely should be — and a school affirmatively propagating the view that biological sex is a social construct, that pronouns are fluid, and that children should be guided by the district rather than their parents on matters of sexuality and gender identity. KUSD has crossed that line.
Parents who cannot afford private school — and that is most of us — have no choice but to send their children into this environment. As one reader, Sue Comerford Geer, put it: “When reading comprehension for all grades is above 90%, then do what you want. Until then, teach the things they need to know.” That is not an unreasonable standard.
John Duffey raised a fair procedural point: “Would they allow, sanction, and support a Turning Point USA chapter? If yes, then why the issue with the aforementioned group? If no, then why is the district picking which groups have the right to present their views?” It is a legitimate question. Ideological consistency matters.
Who Is Responsible
This does not happen by accident. It happens because district leadership allows it. KUSD Superintendent Jeff Weiss and board president Mary Modder have presided over this drift. They are accountable to you, the taxpayer.
KUSD’s job is to teach children to read, write, do mathematics, understand history, and develop the skills they need to participate in civic and economic life. It is not to arbitrate contested questions of gender theory, compel students to use ideologically loaded language, or run taxpayer-funded clubs organized around sexual identity.
A six-year-old character in a 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie got it right. Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. That is biology. That is science. KUSD disagrees — and the community is paying for it.
Stop the gender madness.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. But people are too afraid to speak up. They post with fake names, and spread hate instead of addressing the matter. Embarassing , especially the men hiding behind this ideology to be accepted by our radical femenists and The Others.
Don’t even get me started on “teacher Frederick”. She has send many a kid to the office for Acadian calling her Ms or Mrs. Frederick. Yet her fb profile is of her and a man. Many kids have been pulled from her calls because she is nucking futz. My child had her last year. She looks like a woman, presents like a woman, yet had to be called teacher. It’s insane. Kids who come into 6th grade, have zero experience with this bs, and for some who’ve only had female teachers get zero grace. Then they get sent to the office, and get a “minor” which means they can be held back from participating in things like the socials.
SHE wants to feel special. It is disparaging to the young students she is sending to the office. They are not understanding her desperate need for attention.
She’s a lunatic who has no right to be around kids. Does KUSD just bring applications to mental health facilities?
My wife and I have raised capitalist, common sense children.
I have taught them both to hate liberalism and communism of any form.
I have taught my son to fight.
He is right there, among the sheep at Tremper HS.
Does he pick on geeks and losers like they portray in the movies and tv written by the grown up geeks and losers in Hollywood?
No, he doesn’t know their names or notice them. He is too busy playing sports, working, driving around in his sweet ride, and banging his hot girlfriend.
My tall, beautiful teen daughter also excels and does not date democrats.
Raise em right and they will just laugh at the communist indoctrination and wait for the civil war. I taught them both how to shoot also…
You are quite a man!
Please tell us. What are you going to do when your son knocks up that cute little hot 16 year old girl he is banging and she refuses to get the abortion you offer to pay for?
lol she won’t get an abortion bc she won’t need one. If she does, we don’t allow murder so we’ll help take care of the beautiful gift from God.
It happened in our family. My son’s girlfriend at the time got pregnant. She wanted an abortion, but we begged her to have the baby and we wold help raise her. We raised our granddaughter along with my son–she is now an intelligent, moral, beautiful 16 year old gift from God
Awesome! Thank you for saving her
they would not want her to have an abortion IF it happened becuase they are decent people who would offer to raise the child or arrange for adoption
I get it. However, in the world that you live in, the final, binding decision would fall on the men in the family. You stated that you agree that women should not be in positions of power because they are emotional and catty. Thus, for you, it makes sense that the only purpose women serve is to be sexual playthings for the dominant men who are in charge.
Are you sponsored by Lil dick energy? Cause that post is just full of it.
“My teenage son is always off getting some pussy and also my daughter is hot and smart by the way”
What the fuck?😂😂😂
Yeah, I’m sure your parenting was….interesting
“No, he doesn’t know their names or notice them. He is too busy playing sports, working, driving around in his sweet ride, and banging his hot girlfriend.
My tall, beautiful teen daughter also excels and does not date democrats.”
I hope your daughter’s boyfriend’s dad isn’t posting the same thing about his son.
BROVO
Ewwww you should like a total creep looking at your son’s girlfriend. pedo comes to mind
Teach your kids to be critical thinkers. Not to “hate” or be afraid or any specific group of people. It is much more educated to understand but disagree than to hate and avoid. All that will do is make you ignorant.
What bathrooms are they using???
They are pedophiles, prob whichever ones the kids are using.
and even worse you have DANA ANDERSONlisted as an ebd teacher at frank elementary school who has her own emotional beahior disorders and listed as an ebt teacher , talk about frickin nuts i wouldnt trust her with a gold fish let alone a child these people need to figure out there own issuses way before they are unleashed on our kids wtf
Thank you for your long, poorly written, unpunctuated, and uncapitalized, one sentence critique. We are all better off for it.
Thank you for your run-on sentence. Try harder next time.
im not a grammer or english person im a blue collar man how ever im not sexually confused or been in and out of aa na for years for substance abuse , been in and out of counciling for mental issues on ssi for mental issues like your teacher dana anderson
I emailed her and told her she’ll never be a man.No matter how hard she tries and she literally called the cops and had detectives calling me. These people are bat shit crazy
Fukk these faggots!!
This is exactly why we are homeschooling our children!!
Not everyone has the option to homeschool
Yes, you do you just have to sacrifice some things
Teaching is about a commitment to children. To help them learn. It is not about how a pink haired adult wants to be addressed. Save that for the therapist or the bar.
No wonder the kids are messed up pushing this stupidity on the students.
A couple of things….
First off parents are responsible for knowing about the environment they send their children for education or at the very least to be babysat.
Second…Republicans have lost my support because for years now they have done absolutely nothing to reign in all this progressive bullshit. Republicans for years now have been the majority and could have applied pressure using the budget and educational standards be met….but they talk a good show but absolutely do nothing.
Robin Vos as Speaker is, soon to be was, very powerful and he did not do crap.
Republicans should have walked tall and carried a big stick on dealing with all the sex predator bullshit and they have done nothing.
Screws the Republicans.
Lol
Well you are a sheep. You believe either of those parties care about you. They don’t.
Blame shift much? lol The ‘blame the parents’ gig doesn’t work anymore. With everything that can now be withheld from parents that happens at schools regarding their kids, to the extreme of having kids taken from parents; that card cant be played by those who love the school district (teachers, aides, admin., groomers, pedos, parasites, grifters, etc.).
What is withheld from parents? Be specific.
You are so full of CRAP. You don’t know shit about what you are talking about!
Idiot
Check back next week.
KCE will publish its quarterly expose on FAT public school teachers.
Well there are a lot of fat gym teachers. Just start at Bullen….
From age two they should pick up their toys. Age four they are making their beds and hauling the laundry up and down the stairs. 6-7- and 8 they are doing dishes, garbage and vacuuming.
10 and up, yard work. Earning their keep.
At 13 they have a Savings account, if not earlier.
16 a checking account with a part time job.
Add sports and occasionally tournaments and you have a well rounded teenager. A car at 18 that they pay for.
Teachers are supposed to teach math that they can use to make change. Ever watch a teenager at McDonald’s try to sort out your change from a twenty dollar bill without looking at the register?
If they are good at it steer them to physics and quantum theory.
Teach them the sun and the moon and the stars. Gravity, space travel and chemistry. What the earth is made of and how we power our energy.
Teach them history. First of our country. 250 years worth. Then the dinosaurs and cave men and the pyramids. Then Europe and our heritage from there.
Then Columbus and Sitting Bull.
Then Washington and Jefferson.
Then Slavery. How it continues today.
All along how to read, write and read cursive.
Then Most importantly the grammar of literature.
Proper grammar, courtesy and respect.
Respect is also important to be taught at home but in a school setting with peers and authority figures, children need to know and practice respect for others.
Even the ones with the green and orange hair. The girls that want to be boys and the boys that want to be girls. But those are personal choices. Choices of self. Not choices to be required or require others to “be a part of” or to be opposite of reality.
As for teachers and administrators. Personal ideas and beliefs are to be checked at the door. By the way, cell phones too. Turned off while learning. Paying attention to your teachers, who by the way we as parents are paying for. Teach your children to respect others and they in turn will respect you.
As a teacher, if you want to cross dress, show up at political rallies or protest outside of planned parenthood, do it on your own time. Not in school at your job which is the time I’m paying for.
You want to put a rainbow bumper sticker on your car? Have at it. But hang the flag outside your house, not in the classroom.
Teach sexuality. Boys and girls. How babies are made. Have dance classes. Home Economics.
Teach kids to cook if the mom or dad hasn’t already.
But don’t teach, require or demand any child that is Not Yours to acquiesce to your personal beliefs that are just that, personal. That’s your life, not theirs.
If you can’t separate your home life from your work life, then find a different job. One that’s not where you teach others. One that isn’t influential on children. If you can’t separate work and play, then find a different sandbox
Bravo, very well stated Our Job as Parents is to teach our children to leave home. 👏 👏 👏
Do whatever you have to and home school your kids. Even some parochial schools have this mentality ill nonsense going on. These people are nut cases and exposing your children to them is neglect.
After getting gun threats at grant elementary, we pulled our son out of school.Then, have been doing homeschool, and it’s going great because grades are good and his knowledge is excelling.
I have some names for these lunatic teachers….crackpot…..unstable….insecure….and of course ….Jackass
This is Wiemar, Germany all over again. We are lied to about our history, so we’re doomed to repeat it. Time to bring back the 3rd Reich. Get all these faggots thrown to the gulags.
So if a person drops one quarter on the floor next to me. Do I say “excuse me, you dropped those?”. They only dropped one, wouldn’t they assume there were more?
If I go to the city clerk with a $100 bill to pay my $4000 tax and hand the clerk the single $100 bill can I just say – put those towards my taxes, they identify as 40 $100 bills?
Why are there so many weirdos in education?
It’s easy to hide there, parents have no power to remove those that prey on the young. When you come right down to it, weirdos are in education because they love to defile what is innocent, defenseless and pure.
I think the colleges breed them
Well written article. The question I have is can the school district demand teachers use correct pronouns? I don’t know if they can and not be slapped with a lawsuit. Don’t get me wrong I also don’t want our kids exposed to these things; however if the district doesn’t follow laws and gets a lawsuit then the taxpayers will be paying for attorneys,etc only to have to follow the law. I’m just not sure the district can do anything. It’s a problem in society one that districts have inherited. The real work is to get the laws changed.
No they cannot. My daughters Dean and I had a chat about Kat. Their hands are tied.
Should never have been hired, …follow that fish upstream and see where it leads.
Teachers, (or anyone else for that matter) can’t require (demand) students to call them a specific identifier.
Basically it’s Free Speech.
Meaning, if a kid on the playground wants to call your child a stupid nickname, nobody can stop them.
Though that might rise to a level of bullying, overall it’s just free speech.
The teacher that sends students to the principals office for not say the correct words or pronoun is only going to do that up until the principal stops supporting the teachers request for discipline.
If the principal says the student did nothing wrong then the teacher won’t be able to punish the child.
If that continues from the teacher, that can be called bullying.
Bullying is by definition making another do something against your will. Or verbally or physically abusing another.
Imagine a teacher being sued by a child/parent for being a bully. Wouldn’t that be a hoot !
I have become as a broken record: I’m glad I’m 77, and NOT 17!
So on the same page as this article, is a “warning” from KUSD about the use of SQUIRT GUNS.
WTF? The outright mental illness displayed by these so-called “teachers” is glorified, but the use of SQUIRT GUNS for some fun is considered an outrage by KUSD.
If anyone EVER doubted that liberalism/progressivism is a serious mental disease, here is more proof.
Maybe there is a high suicide rate amongst this group because it is a symptom of their mental illness, as is their gender dysphoria.
“dysphoria”
“Dysphoria is diagnosed by mental health professionals (psychiatrists or psychologists) through clinical interviews and assessments of symptoms. While not a disorder itself, it is identified as a symptom of a deeper mental health issue or as a specific type of distress, such as gender dysphoria.”
Wonder if KUSD does any type of pre-employment emotional stability assessment? Probably not.
That is wrong, this all started and snowballed after a Supreme Court judge out on the East Coast in Pennsylvania made “gender dysphoria” a disorder and should be treated as a disability. It is rampant in prisons and it spread like wildfire. There are violent sex offenders that get regular labs and estrogen patches so that they can grow boobs and this also comes with mammograms. There has been one case where a male had a vaginoplastity and is now in a female prison. Prison guards are trained to treat transgenders in a certain way as far as pat searches etc. This is all happening and us taxpayers are paying for it. There has been some controversy about vaginoplasty so now they are considering orchectomy’s which cuts off their testicles. Again, we are paying for all of this and that is just a tip of the iceberg on what is all involved in the treating of transgenders.
… all you should get is three meals and a clean toilet.
After that nothing.
Medical care ? Only if it’s bleeding or broken. Bad heart ? Oh well.
Absolutely zero elective surgery.
Anyone in for life is just that, for life.
Not Medicare.
Maybe put all the sex criminals in a prison of their own. Maybe Nevada or New York.
Let them work it out unhindered.
it is all bullshit
…if enough property owners organized and refused to pay taxes which support public education policies contrary to their wishes, you’d be surprised by how fast Kenosha would become the focus of national media attention.
Unfortunately, the majority can’t even be bothered to vote to keep the creeps out of power. There is no one to blame but us citizens.
Everyone is quick to say “I know my rights!”; but so few likewise acknowledge their RESPONSIBILITIES of citizenship.
I’m glad I am old.
This country’s future is in serious jeopardy.
I am old, too — but if we don’t pay our property taxes, they can take our homes. I homeschooled my kids and always had to pay the stupid taxes for KUSD. I worked so hard to raise moral children with integrity on a shoestring budget, all the while funding a perverted school district.
…they’d run out of jail cells in about 5-mins if enough people refused to be fleeced by the KUSD cabal anymore.
There is always strength in numbers.
Ordinary citizens are supposed to call the shots in this country.
Too many have forgotten this…or maybe never learned it in the first place, from their lefty teachers in the public schools.
Kids used to be required to take a whole semester of ‘Civics’ instruction…AND to pass a Constitution Test as a requirement to graduate high school.
I wonder who lobbied to discontinue all of that, and when?
So-called “Educators” perhaps?
Teacher’s Unions ??
Get your children out of the cesspool, DEFUND KUSD.
Immediately
Thank you for this, Kevin! There was a group of us who tried to fight this and the pornography in the schools for two years at KUSD with the help of Mass Resistance. The schools did nothing. Weiss was a lying jerk, and Yo-Yo Yolanda made fun of us and talked behind our backs in the restroom at the District Office. Quite a few individuals in the Kenosha Democratic Party doxxed us online, and it was so bad that we had harassing visits to our homes and jobs–I lost my job because of them. Of course, nothing was done to stop them because this is liberal Kenosha, where they can screw up your child’s life as well as anyone else who tries to stick up for them. If more people spoke up against this and attended school board meetings to voice their opinions, and voted out these child abusers, there would not be these freak-show teachers. I resent having to pay an exorbitant amount in property taxes to fund this indoctrination.
There is an AFFORDABLE option for private school in Wisconsin. Look up Academy Of Excellence “AOE”.
Redirect your tax dollars away from these INSANE failing schools, and invest them into your children and the values you hold dear.
You CAN do it!
HOW CAN people expect a poisoned population to be “normal”? From injecting toxic vaccines (in violation of one’s temple), to Flouridating the water, adding that to baby formula that has estrogen levels enough to feminize males, add GLYPHOSATE (another feminization of food), and a multitude of other mind altering medications and or other substances, stick them all in indoctrination centers run by AIPAC Influenced Politics, MEDIA…
Bradfords “Gender and Sexuality Club” paid by tax papers? Backed by the District?
I’d venture to say everyone would be up in arms if it were a tax funded Religious club or Bible Study Club.
Just keep walking past her and say “hey girl heyy” until she snaps. It’ll be epic
Well, that’s lovely…now you know who the problem parents and the bully kids are. I couldn’t care less what if a teacher chooses to use an honorific or not. It has literally nothing to do with education. Get to know the teachers, be active in your child’s education, if they are struggling find out how to help them, and make sure they aren’t bullied or are bullying others. That’s your job.
I have the problem solved- My son identifies as a king, and he decrees that all teachers use the pronouns correspending with genitalia at birth. All students and staff must address him as “Your Majesty”, and whatever is says is law.
Now would Mrs Anderson argue that logic?
