A Colorado middle school prevented a student from reading a pro-life poem she wrote celebrating life in the womb. The school called her poem “offensive,” “unsafe” and “too political,” while allowing poems supporting LGBTQ rights and a poem that reportedly mocked Jesus.
The 13-year-old student attends Drake Middle School, a school within Jefferson County (Jeffco) Public Schools. According to the student and her mother, when it was time for the student to present her poem to her class, her teacher stopped her, explaining that she was not permitted to present the poem and that she had to leave the classroom while the other students presented.
The girl and her mother shared her story in a video posted on the conservative social media account Libs of TikTok.
“My teacher assigned an assignment in class to write a slam poem about conflict in the world that we are passionate about,” she said.
Passionate about unborn babies, she chose to write about the value of life in the womb.
