NILES, Mich. — REAL News Michiana has discovered the Brandywine Middle School English teacher who drew a veiny, hairy penis on a dry erase board in front of children has also been a somewhat vocal opponent of school board initiatives to remove pornographic material from Brandywine school district libraries. According to social media posts, the educator also appears to advocate keeping the sexual orientation and gender transitioning of children a secret from parents.
PENIS DRAWING INCIDENT
According to sources, the incident involving the drawing of the penis happened sometime in the last few weeks and involved middle school English Teacher David Staggs. A student in the class took a picture of Mr. Staggs as he finished the drawing. That picture was shared with other students and parents and was eventually shared with RNM. The staff directory for Brandywine schools lists Staggs as an English Language Arts and Yearbook teacher at Brandywine Middle/High School.
According to Brandywine Community Schools Superintendent Travis Walker, Staggs was asked by a female Health Teacher to come into her classroom to draw the picture for her students during sex education curriculum.
“Using a drawing of the male genitalia to teach the content exhibited poor judgement.” Walker told RNM in an email. “Depicting veins and pubic hair did not contribute to the teaching of the proper use of condoms. The brandywine administration and board of education do not approve of or condone the use of drawings to teach this content. Staff have been directed to refrain from drawing genitalia and any violation of this directive will be handled by school administration.”
RADICAL IDEOLOGY
A cursory search of Mr. Staggs’ social media accounts shows a radical ideology when it comes to the sexualization of children. He has made multiple posts on Facebook that appear to advocate children disclosing their sexual preferences to teachers, while hiding that information from their parents.
Other social media posts made by Staggs appear to be protesting an initiative by the school board to remove porongraphic material from Brandywine school libraries. Earlier this year, the school board created the Explicit Material Book Review Committee. The committee’s purpose is simple: Inventory books that contain sexual content, create a checkout protocol in which students are allowed to check them out (including parental consent) and create a process to vet new material being admitted.
Since the creation of the book committee, teachers and other radical activists have attended nearly every board meeting to express their displeasure with the committee that is simply ensuring kids aren’t being given full access to pornographic material. Spearheading the opposition has been another English Teacher, Debbie Carew.
