A week before classes started, I rapidly assembled syllabi for two sections of ENGL 3950: Literature for Children<\/em>, my regular offering to education majors. I\u2019d stretched myself by ordering several books I\u2019d never read.<\/p>\n

I hastily found an article covering feminist versions of \u201cRapunzel\u201d to counterbalance the male-focused tales. Late on September 30th, I began preparing for the next day\u2019s class on the Rapunzel essay.<\/p>\n

Complex and Fluid Gender Roles<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article\u2019s author taught seventh graders to critique gender portrayals in versions of \u201cRapunzel.\u201d I read with horror her commitment to books offering children \u201cmore complex and fluid\u201d gender roles.<\/p>\n

I had a choice:<\/p>\n

    a) I could pretend I hadn\u2019t noticed.<\/p>\n

Or<\/p>\n

    b) I could break my habitual silence and address an important social issue.<\/p>\n

I prepared PowerPoint slides to highlight the points aligned with my original purpose of presenting fairy tales with strong girl protagonists. I also crafted one expressing disagreement with the call for gender \u201cfluidity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Student Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

I began class by saying I believe we have a Creator. I don\u2019t remember precisely what I said after that, but students were resistant to my discomfort with the article\u2019s insistence that children should be taught to embrace a range of gender identities.<\/p>\n

Students expressed their belief that children (even kindergarteners) should be allowed to decide whether they are male or female. Student after student agreed, the discussion grew heated, and my temper rose too, particularly when one student made erroneous claims about the Bible.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you homophobic?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the next class meeting, I made this assertion: We need to be very careful what matters we let children decide. One student asked, \u201cWait! Are you homophobic?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tension with this student and her class continued throughout the semester, and I feared a complaint. One of the pastors at my church, whom I\u2019d sought out for prayer, encouraged me that if administrators heard about the matter, they\u2019d say, \u201cWe know Laureen.\u201d He expected that my reputation within the department would speak for me.<\/p>\n

When my department chair asked to meet to discuss rumored \u201cissues\u201d in my children\u2019s literature classes, the Holy Spirit assured me it would be OK. That pastor and his prayer group provided additional encouragement.<\/p>\n

A Higher Authority<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting with the department chair was more than OK. She said we would discuss the matter as two colleagues with mutual respect. After showing her my slides and explaining what happened in class, I told her that ultimately I must answer to a higher authority. She made no comment, but seemed unfazed by the remark.<\/p>\n

Both classes remained tense, and in November a confrontation occurred over a matter of race, prompted by the student who\u2019d accused me of being \u201chomophobic.\u201d Although my department chair envisioned protests demanding my firing, any such effort was blunted by a Christian student prayer initiative and a brief apology emailed to me by the angry student.<\/p>\n

Collateral Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next semester, the Office of Equity and Diversity summoned me to two video conferences\u2014one for each issue. Both times, I was praised for making adjustments to my Spring classes. But there was still collateral damage: low Fall 2021 student evaluations consistently called me racist and homophobic.<\/p>\n

I see these two takeaways: First, I broke my pattern of silence on cultural conflicts with the Bible, and God protected me, providing prayer support and godly counsel. Second, prayerful preparation for the classes would have abated much of the trouble.<\/p>\n

Each Fall is a brand new semester. Thank God! I look forward to seeing what the Lord brings my way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
