Two fascinating takes on an event in a Washington State public middle school.

The teacher, Taylor, included a slam poem about anti-Asian racism. She says she taught them about why it is racist, etc. Then the parents brought up spurious complaints about the sexual content. > https://twitter.com/intowildplaces/status/1387461112728223746
But this thread has a very different take on it, that the sexual content really is the main issue, and the teacher is deflecting by making it about the anti-racism. https://twitter.com/courtneymilan/status/1387741366256496648
FWIW, as an Asian-American, seeing the sexual content of the poem in question, I don't really get how you can teach this poem *without* discussing that sexual content.
