San Francisco Unified\u2019s superintendent was among the woke school brass<\/a> quizzed by a congressional committee this week.<\/p>\n

And Maria Su earned an F<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s top school official dodged question after question about the district\u2019s dubious curriculum in an embarrassing appearance before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If the district\u2019s policies were on the up and up, one would think she\u2019d give straightforward answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, she all but took the Fifth.<\/p>\n

Did Su support curriculum that allegedly compared parents who rejected schools\u2019 COVID mandates to white families in the 1960s who left desegregated schools? The educator wouldn\u2019t say.<\/p>\n

Did Su agree with alleged district guidance that equated refusing to call a transgender student by preferred pronouns with physical assault? She would not answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Did Su think that biological males should be allowed in girls\u2019 locker rooms? The schools chief deflected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Granted, these policies, if aptly characterized, are looney.<\/p>\n

And Su\u2019s district is among those the Department of Justice is investigating for perhaps avoiding parental notification and opt-out laws.<\/p>\n

Is that why she won\u2019t answer simple queries?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Or is she unwilling to defend, even on principle, the very policies she and her colleagues impose on impressionable students?<\/p>\n

Either way, here are a few more questions:<\/p>\n

Why does SF Unified appear consumed with far-left ideology rather than giving kids the tools they need to succeed in college, jobs and civic life?<\/p>\n

Do lessons that may encourage kids to question their own gender and sexuality serve any constructive purpose for the children themselves?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why are just 53% of the district\u2019s students proficient in language arts and why do even fewer \u2013\u2013 46% \u2013\u2013\u00a0show proficiency in math, per data from October?<\/p>\n

And why are a whopping 30% of the San Francisco public school students queer or questioning and 6% transgender or \u201cgender questioning,\u201d per a district report?<\/p>\n

(One of the presenters of that report is listed as using the pronouns \u201cShe\/Ella\/Meow.\u201d If we don\u2019t call this person Ella or Meow, does Su think that\u2019s akin to physical violence?)<\/p>\n

To be clear: There is nothing at all wrong with identifying as queer or trans, and all students, regardless of background, deserve love, guidance and support.<\/p>\n

They also deserve a strong education.<\/p>\n

Every classroom hour spent steeping kids in ideology is an hour not spent teaching them science, or Shakespeare, or how to balance a budget.<\/p>\n

And if this (or any) district is circumventing parental notification rules relating to transgender or other sensitive instruction, that is all kinds of wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But we got no real answers from Su, whose display before Congress helps explain why many so parents have lost faith in US public schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They can seem more like indoctrination factories for adult agendas rather than true learning centers for bright young minds.<\/p>\n
