The superintendent of San Francisco Unified Schools will face the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on Wednesday, responding to a congressional summons to answer questions about the district’s transgender and ethnic studies curricula.
Superintendent Maria Su received the summons in May, along with superintendents from Chicago and Virginia’s Loudon County, for a hearing before the full 37-member committee called “Breaking Trust: Attacks on Parental Rights, Inappropriate Content, and Legal Abuses in America’s Schools.”
Su and her superintendent colleagues are expected to face questions from the Republican-led panel about parental rights, inappropriate classroom content and the indoctrination of children. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Su has spent the past several weeks preparing for the hearing by studying district policies, state and federal laws, new Supreme Court rulings and practicing mock questioning sessions.
The hearing will stream live at 7:15 a.m. PDT Wednesday. Su will appear alongside Chicago’s CEO and Superintendent Macquline King and Loudoun County Superintendent Aaron Spence.
