Parents speak out against Connecticut high school teacher's 'divisive' vocab worksheet

A Connecticut high school English teacher is under investigation by the Southington school board for providing students with a controversial vocabulary list the first week of class. Parents confronted the school board regarding the three-page packet that addressed divisive political, gender, and racial topics.

Connecticut's WFSB-TV reported that school board members claimed they were previously unaware of the worksheet.

The vocabulary list defined the terms "social justice," "marginalization," "Indigenous/American Indian," "cisgender," "cultural appropriation," "institutional/structural racism," "gaslighting," and "transgender."
