An angry mom has spoken out and slammed her daughter’s teacher after they confiscated her child’s innocent drawing.
Sierra Carter is a mother from Michigan who was shocked when her 11-year-old daughter’s art teacher called her and informed her that her daughter’s depiction of a pig wearing a tie was seized.
The drawing, which was titled Piggie, featured a colorful pig waving its front legs next to a speech bubble that read ‘hi.’
While nothing seems out of the ordinary, the Hanover-Horton Elementary School teacher allegedly branded the drawing as “inappropriate” saying the bow around the pig’s neck reminds them of male genitalia.
Lashing out at the teacher, Sierra has since met with the principal and the school’s superintendent only to achieve little to nothing in terms of clearing her daughter’s name.
“I got a phone call from my daughter’s teacher – she is in fifth grade, she is 11 years old. Her teacher told me that my daughter had drawn something inappropriate in the art class and that a little boy had come up to her and made her aware that he thought my daughter drew ‘boy parts’ on her pig project,” the outraged mom said in her viral TikTok video.
“She went over and asked my daughter for all of her papers… My daughter told her teacher straight away that she drew a bow tie.
“But the teacher proceeded to take all of her papers from her and then she said she had to give my daughter’s project to the vice principal of the school.”
Sierra further recalled the meeting with a social worker and senior staff at her daughter’s school and revealed they branded the drawing as “offensive.”
“I literally slammed my hand down on the table and I said: ‘To be completely frank with you, I am p****ed. Why are we sitting here right now? And why was there a big deal made of this. It’s a fricking bow tie,’” she added.
“They tell me that when they gave it to the principal to ask him what his thoughts were on the whole thing, the first thing that he said was ‘write her up.’”
After demanding the principal shows his face and join the discussion, the mother was in for another unsatisfactory chat.
“[The principal] goes ‘a bow tie is a bow.point 154 | ’ And I’m like ‘I’m sorry my daughter is no Monet, but to her a bow tie is a bow and a tie.point 231 |
And if another kid happened to look at it and think it was something else that sounds more like a he-problem than a she-problem.point 105 | Why you’re making this my daughter’s problem, I don’t know,’” she continued.point 180 | 1
The mother also slapped back at the art teacher as she accused him of failing to shut the whole thing down before it escalated because her daughter “has never been inappropriate.”
