San Francisco high school teacher suspended for targeting white students
A San Francisco high school teacher was suspended after she singled out white male students and made an example of them, asking them if they “felt like a minority” during a class.
Parents and students reported Lowell High School teacher Nicole Noel Henares in September 2022 after she asked white male students to stand as a group in front of the rest of their class.
In a report obtained by Fox News Digital, students said they “felt confused, sad and there was no correct answer for them in that moment” when Henares called them out.
Henares was initially placed on paid administrative leave on September 15, 2022 while San Francisco Unified School District officials conducted an investigation.
The report also said the English teacher asked students questions that were not related to the lesson she has been teaching.
Students also claimed Henares used inappropriate materials in her class, including the Lil Nas X song “Montero/Call Me By Your Name,” which features explicit lyrics including; “I wanna sell what you’re buying / I wanna feel on your ass in Hawaii / I want that jet lag from f—ing and flying / Shoot a child in your mouth while I’m riding.”
During interviews conducted on Oct. 14, 2022 and Nov. 10, 2022, Henares admitted to singling out the white male students who she said were “dominating the conversation” in class.
However, students who were interviewed disagreed with her, the report said.
“Additionally, Ms. Henares admitted that she had not taught any discussion norms to provide a safe space to discuss the sometimes sensitive topics she attempted to,” the report said.
After the conclusion of the investigation, the teacher was suspended for 15 days from Dec. 13, 2022 to Jan. 18.
Hanares has not responded to The Post’s requests for comment regarding the allegations.
Hanares started working for the San Francisco Unified School District in October 2020. It is unclear if she still teaches at the Lowell High School, but her LinkedIn profile says lists her as a high school teacher in the district.
