A middle school teacher reportedly told students that LGBTQ people are "sinful"
Oklahoma mother Dawn Snodgrass is springing into action after her 12-year-old daughter endured anti-LGBTQ remarks during a class discussion.
Snodgrass’ daughter, Karagyn, heard the teacher calling LGBTQ people “sinful.”
Snodgrass got a call from her daughter after the comments were made, at the end of a “political” discussion the class was having. She immediately drove up to Frederick Middle School and requested a meeting with the principal and counselor.
