A history teacher at Chief Sealth International High School in Seattle allegedly gave a student a failing grade for answering that only women can get pregnant and only men can have penises.
The test focused on gender vs. sex, and the student’s mother expressed concern about the school allowing teachers to bring political beliefs into the classroom.
The school denied claims of name-calling, and the district emphasized its commitment to fostering inclusive environments and exploring contemporary issues. (Trending: Here Are The Most Disturbing Ways Hunter Biden Spent His Millions)

Here are a look at the controversial questions:
• Question 4: “All men have penises” (True/False)
The teacher reportedly marked the student’s “True” answer as incorrect.
• Question 7: “Only women can get pregnant” (True/False)
The teacher reportedly marked the student’s “True” answer as incorrect.
“I keep trying to wrap my head around how it is legal to teach inaccurate information and force students to answer against their beliefs or receive negative scores,” said the child’s mother to reporters.
The child’s mother also said that other students called her son, “f—- and racist” and a “product of the patriarchy that teaches young boys not to care about anything.”

The district clarified that the quiz results did not impact final grades.
“The Seattle Public Schools (SPS) course description for the Ethnic Studies World History class underscores that students will be ‘investigating… the global economy, society, and culture.’ Claims that the student was called names have not been reported to SPS. We have confirmed with school’s principal that this is the first reference to any name-calling,” wrote the district in response to the claims.
Adding, “SPS remains committed to fostering inclusive environments that encourage the exploration of contemporary issues, particularly the examination of power systems such as racism and patriarchy. This dedication extends to providing a space for thoughtful exploration and dialogue on these issues.”
