Far-left Maryland teacher says all boys should be aborted

The Washington Free Beacon reports that it has identified Dana Zentgraf of Clopper Mill Elementary School as the author of numerous Facebook posts venting her radicalism under the screen name “Da Graf.” The account has since been deleted, but the report preserves extensive quotes and screenshots.

“If I was in my reproduction era, I would have one of those early blood tests to see if the fetus is a boy or a girl and I would abort it if it was a boy,” she wrote October 24. “I don’t want to give birth to my own oppressor and I feel like the only way out of this patriarchal hell is for there to be less men on this earth. I think we should start aborting male fetuses (or not having kids at all right now) and put an end to female oppression once and for all.”

“It’s your son too. It’s all of them,” Zentgraf added October 27. “They are all menace[s] to society and we need to stop giving birth to them.”

“I have news for the mothers of boys who believe they raised their sons ‘right’: In the world we live in, raising a boy right at home does not guarantee that he will be seen or treated right outside those doors,” she went on. “You can do everything in your power to raise him to be a good man. But once he steps outside your home, he enters a patriarchal world that has taught men, in ways both subtle and overt, that they hold power over women.”

“If it’s too late to abort, raise him like your life depends on it because it does,” Zentgraf warned. “All of our lives depend on it.”

An October 18 post reveals deep paranoia about other women as well, explaining that when she first meets one, “I will almost immediately find a way to say something mean about a man or men in general to figure out whether or not she’s a safe person to be myself around.”

Her extremism extends well beyond gender politics. Zentgraf has also described the United States as “AMERIKKKA,” declared “overthrowing the government is the only answer,” asserted that “Anyone who loves America this much,” referring to a photo of an SUV bearing two American flags, “is racist and nothing will ever change my mind.” Additionally, her profile picture featured a Palestinian flag. 

“Neither Zentgraf nor Montgomery County Public Schools responded to requests for comment,” the Beacon reports.

Zentgraf’s values may be particularly alarming to see in someone entrusted with the welfare of special needs children, but are well at home with Montgomery County Public Schools, given the district’s history. 

In recent years, it has been taken to court over numerous policies imposing LGBT agendas on children in defiance of parental rights and wishes or even dissenting teachers, from requiring teachers to use gender-confused students’ preferred names and pronouns, to attempting to refuse opt-outs for pro-LGBT reading materials starting as young as kindergarten, to allowing students’ “transitions” to be withheld from parents.

Indoctrination of children with left-wing ideology on sexuality and other agenda items has long been a major concern in American schools, from book shelves to drag events to classroom materials to even “transitioning” troubled children without parental input. Many schools have also displayed hostility to the rights and employment of individual teachers who refuse to go along with such agendas.

In response, the Trump administration has issued executive orders to deny federal funds to educational entities that indoctrinate students through DEI programs, among other executive actions to combat so-called “woke ideology” in education.
