California special needs girl slams high school after teachers branded her a ‘bigot and homophobic’ when she refused to learn about lesbian sex and get undressed near male teachers

• Thelma Gonzalez said she was labelled a ‘bigot’ by her teacher after refusing to participate in a lesson concerning lesbian sex 
• Her mom Marina Vivar claims she had signed permission forms explicitly exempting her daughter from taking part in those lessons 
• Gonzalez told the teacher that because of her Christian beliefs she couldn’t take part, and was allegedly branded a ‘bigot’

A California special needs student has slammed her high school after teachers allegedly branded her a ‘bigot’ and ‘homophobic’ for refusing to learn about lesbian sex.

Thelma Gonzalez, a pupil at Glendale High School, had been enrolled in a health and relationships course by her mom Marina Vivar.

Vivar specifically ticked a box exempting her daughter from being taught ‘anything LGBTQ+ or about sexual acts which were gay in nature’.

She says this was not respected and that she was taught about lesbian sex acts including scissoring and the use of female condoms.

Gonzalez also told the meeting of the council that she got into trouble at the school after refusing to change due to a male teacher being in the locker room 

After her daughter allegedly spoke up saying she shouldn’t be learning this, Vivar claims her daughter was called a ‘bigot, intolerant and homophobic’.

Speaking to Glendale City Council on Tuesday, Vivar said: ‘My daughter was taught such acts as scissoring.

‘When my daughter expressed that she should not be in these classes, she was called a bigot by her teacher, she was called intolerant, and she was called homophobic.

‘These are all terms she didn’t know, they are not part of our vocabulary at home. 

‘She simply expressed that due to her Christian beliefs it goes against her morals. At that point a staff member told her to look at her skin color.’

Gonzalez also told the city council: ‘I once got in trouble in the girls locker room because I did not dress down in front of other people.

‘There are male teachers inside the girls’ locker room. I was scared, I was terrified, because I was afraid of an adult male staring at me while I was changing.’

An investigation was conducted by principal Benjamin Wolf and concluded that nothing had happened.

Glendale High Communications Director Kristine Nam told Fox News Digital: ‘The lesson Ms. Vivar is referencing was a general lesson from the health textbook about making healthy decisions in your relationships.

‘The teacher did ask Ms. Vivar’s daughter to refrain from making inappropriate remarks in response to a reference to LGBTQ+ relationships,’

‘We have investigated the interaction and have not found any evidence that inappropriate remarks [for instance, referring to the student as a ‘bigot’] were used by the teacher. We will continue to thoroughly investigate,’
