The Florida House has passed a bill intended to put additional restraints on the teaching of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in schools and colleges.

Despite efforts to stop the practice there is evidence that the teaching has just been disguised and continues.

But DEI is only part of the entire “woke” agenda, which in turn is part of a long-standing effort to indoctrinate government school students in left-wing beliefs.

One example of this trend may be Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville.

Over the past three years a series of scandals have taken place at the school.

One teacher was sentenced to 10 years in prison for conduct that had been taking place for years and had not been reported by the district to state officials.

Another teacher was removed from the classroom for “inappropriate touching.” Then, another was removed for sending inappropriate emails. Then a third male teacher was accused of hanky-panky with female students.

According to Jacksonville Today, which has covered the story extensively, a total of six teachers were removed from the classroom for inappropriate behavior with students.

The school district has paid at least $2 million to settle cases related to these incidents.

In addition, one left-wing loudmouth was reassigned from Anderson to another school for broadcasting her opinions.

But teachers at Anderson have been voicing their opinions for years — in the classroom as well as on Twitter.

Dylan Haupt was a student at Douglas Anderson in the period 2015-2019.

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Haupt had formulated his own beliefs by the time he went to high school.

Haupt said he attended the school to learn about film making, which would have helped with the college degree he wanted.

But he told Eye on Jacksonville about a number of incidents that went beyond teaching.

“My first experience was with a biology teacher who was very adamant about Darwin and evolution, and pressured students to adopt her views on that,” he said.

“She was trying to control the narrative instead of educate people.”

“It was not really education going on, but more like indoctrination.”

“That was my first red flag.”

The same teacher would casually talk about sexuality and made a comment about her own personal sex life, saying she and her husband had sex during the Super Bowl halftime show, Haupt said.

Anderson also had a lack of discipline and accountability, he said. In art class, a student had pulled a prank on Haupt, giving him a drug test kit in Secret Santa, and the teacher was cheering it on. “I reported it to the dean of discipline, but it went nowhere,” he said.

Came 2016 and a presidential election and Haupt’s world history teacher would make comments about Donald Trump in lectures, saying he was unqualified. She read an Islamic children’s book in class and spent a whole day discussing multiculturalism and mass migration. The theme was there’s nothing wrong with either and if you’re against it you are hateful and not inclusive. One student objected and she attacked him verbally, then kicked him out of class.

Haupt’s world history teacher also disparaged Christopher Columbus, another favorite target of left-wingers who despise Western civilization. The explorer was presented as a white racist and a genocidal maniac who hated native Americans.

The same teacher played a video of Barack Obama at a CNN town hall, where Obama was justifying not identifying terrorists as Islamic. The previous year, while anti-western views were being presented to students, one Anderson student pledged allegiance to ISIS.

Haupt said there was plenty of electioneering in the classroom. In 2018, his senior year, midterm elections were being held and a teacher criticized Trump, saying Trump wanted to be a dictator, and only the Constitution stood in his way.

The same teacher said conservative voters in the south are buck-toothed, angry, racist white men and the product of incest. He also said abortion rights were the same as gun rights. He would stream hearings on the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, while claiming Kavanaugh was unfit and guilty of rape.

Covid interrupted Haupt’s college plans. He got a job and attends college part-time.

But the events Haupt relates support suspicions many have voiced, and it is likely that other children throughout Duval County have had similar experiences.

Haupt’s account supports the efforts of those in state government who are trying to ensure that Florida children are educated properly.
