EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Published – November 1, 2022
On October 21, Libs of TikTok reported that Worthington Schools offered a high school elective course where an “antifa activist and sex worker who has public profiles containing pornography was brought in to speak to students.”
Elizabeth Blackburn, who has since made her account private, describes herself as an “anarchist bimbo” and “fat activist” on her Twitter. On October 19, she tweeted:
Other screenshots from Libs of Tiktok feature Blackburn showing off “#antifafashion” and sexually explicit pictures. The screenshots may be viewed at this link.
In an email to Fox News, Superintendent Dr. Trent Bowers defended the decision to have Blackburn speak in class:
“Worthington Kilbourne recently had a speaker who focused on activism for the homeless population. That speaker’s social media is drawing attention and unfortunately people are not taking the time to understand that by nature the speakers in this elective only class will be radical.”
Dr. Bowers said the “U.S. Political Thought and Radicalism” course has been around for decades and is only offered to seniors at two high schools. A description of the course states it “examines political thought in the United States of America from the extreme right to the extreme left and beliefs beyond the traditional political spectrum.”
Worthington Schools has 10,530 students enrolled across 18 schools.
