Seattle teacher tells student it’s ‘offensive’ to identify as straight
ASeattle high school teacher has been accused of berating a student for describing himself as “straight” — saying it’s “offensive” because it suggests LGBTQ people must be “crooked.” In the beginning of the school year, Ian Golash provided students with a “Social Identity Wheel” worksheet asking them to reflect on various identities — including race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation.
After her son labeled himself as “straight,” Golash allegedly told the boy the term is “offensive,” Golash denied singling out her son, but confirmed saying he prefers not to use the term “straight” because “it implies that to not be straight is to be ‘crooked,’ which could have a negative connotation.”
Golash, the Chair of the Social Studies Department at the Chief Sealth High School, also allegedly told the tenth-grade boy he was “a product of the patriarchy”. The teacher also failed the student earlier in the school year on a quiz when he labeled two statements “true” — The first that “All men have penises” and the second that “Only women can get pregnant.”
