The other day I had the exclusive story about an LGBT survey being given to students at Goshen Middle School. Today we have an update.
A Goshen Middle School teacher was found to be in violation of school policy after a student-designed survey containing questions about the LGBT community was shared with part of the student body before being thoroughly vetted.
The survey in question was written by a group of middle school students in a social studies class who were discussing social issues, Goshen Community Schools Superintendent Diane Woodworth said Wednesday.
As part of project-based learning through the New Tech Program, students are encouraged to discuss how the social issues around them affect their own lives, she said.
The survey was sent out to about 500 students, but it’s claimed that it was taken down before most of them saw the survey.
A screenshot of the surveymonkey.com website, which was shared by a South Bend-based syndicated radio talk show host, began circulating on social media after a student sent a photo to his or her parents.
Geez Goshen News. You can at least say my name, and credit me with breaking the story.
Woodward said GMS Principal Lori Shreiner took the survey down as soon as she learned about it. The teacher was spoken to, but any disciplinary measures were not released due to this being a personnel matter.
