Texas mom says her 13-year-old daughter played ‘a seductive whore’ during a game in the classroom

Texas mom Laura Maria Gruber has always considered herself an “awakened” liberal in favor of progressive causes, even sending her young daughter to a charter school that celebrates “diversity, equality, and inclusion,” according to the school’s website.

But she never thought her 13-year-old would be asked to play a “seductive whore” in a strange classroom game.

“I picked up my daughter and her best friend from school and my daughter said, ‘Mom, we played this game at school, and you’re going to get upset,'” Gruber told The Post Saturday from her home in San Antonio.

“When she told me about the kids getting up in class and pretending to be prostitutes, I almost got hit by the car.”

The September incident was so upsetting, Gruber said, that she pulled her daughter from school and demanded an apology from officials.

Gruber, 45, who is Latino from Puerto Rico, discovered the game was called “Bear-Hooker-Hunter” and went online, discovering it was an adult drinking game version of rock-paper-scissors.

As part of the game, Gruber said her daughter and other 7th graders in her Social Emotional Learning class at Cape Poder Academy We had to stand at the front of the room.

Then the children were asked to strike poses – either as hunters, pointing an imaginary gun at each other; Like a fearful bear raising its paws, said the distraught mother, or as a “seductive bitch,” with one hand on one thigh and the other behind his ear.

The intent of the game was unclear, said Gruber, who felt the game was pedophile.

The boys and girls were organized from smallest to largest, and some were allegedly sprinkled with candy to get them to play together, the daughter told the mother.

“The teacher was very young,” said Gruber, “so you can imagine what kind of people are coming out of universities now teaching our kids.”

“My daughter was embarrassed, very embarrassed,” she added. She said the boys and the teacher were laughing.

“Another girl in the class had been sexually assaulted, so the experience was particularly embarrassing for her.”

Gruber pulled her daughter out of school after a week, but was determined to file a protest with school administrators, an arduous and frustrating process, she said.

“I really feel as if I’ve been exposed to it,” Gruber said. “I wanted my child to go to this school for diversity and I trusted them. But I didn’t realize it would include sexual diversity and pedophilia.

“The worst part is that this school is located downtown and San Antonio is well known for being a hub for child sex trafficking.”

After nearly six months of meeting with KIPP officials in San Antonio and Austin, Gruber said she received an apology from the board.

Parents at the school did not learn of Gruber’s complaint about the game until the board issued an apology.

The response has been too little, too late, Gruber said.

KIPP has admitted that the game took place as described, according to papers from the school seen by The Post.

Although there were children pretending to be “alluring whores,” four levels of KIPP management—Principal Stephanie Lee, Deputy Superintendent Jeremy Gray, Regional Superintendent Allen Smith and KIPP Texas Executive Director Sehba Ali—denied pedophile play.

“While we always chase excellence as a core value, we sometimes stumble,” Lee wrote on February 2. 16 letters to school families.

The manager admitted, however, that “The Bear-Hooker-Hunter…. fell short of our standard of excellence.”

“This game was not part of any KIPP curriculum, nor was it appropriate for students,” she wrote. “Any activities that involve actions or words such as ‘whore’ or ‘seduce’ should have no place in our schools. Although the intention was never to sexualize a child, I am aware that the effect may cause students to feel uncomfortable Or trauma. This disrespects the respect we aim to teach our students at all times; in fact, it is insulting.”

“The term ‘prostitute’ is a harsh word and not one you should use or repeat,” the headmaster said in the letter.

KIPP is nationally known for its progressive education in the United States, and for providing an equitable education to blacks and Latinos LGBTQIA children.
