The September incident was so disturbing, Gruber said, she pulled her daughter from the school and demanded an apology from administrators.
Gruber, 45, a Latina from Puerto Rico, found out the game was called “Bear-Hooker-Hunter” and went online, discovering it is an adult drinking game version of rock-paper-scissors.
The boys and girls were organized from youngest to oldest, with some allegedly bribed with candy to get them to play along, the daughter told the mom.“The teacher was pretty young, so you can imagine what kind of people are coming out of universities now to teach our kids,” Gruber said. Gruber pulled her daughter out of the school a week later but was determined to lodge a protest with the school administrators, a laborious and frustrating process, she said.
After almost six months of meeting with KIPP administrators in San Antonio and Austin, Gruber said she got an apology, of sorts, from the board. Despite having kids pose as “seducing hookers,” four levels of KIPP administration — School Principal Stephanie Lee, Deputy Superintendent Jeremy Gray, Regional Superintendent Allen Smith and KIPP Texas CEO Sehba Ali — denied the game sexualized children.
