'UNREAL': Watch top school official in state 'draw a complete blank' when asked how many genders there are

While many on the political left, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson, have trouble defining what a woman is, now video is emerging of the head of Michigan's schools having extreme difficulty stating how many genders exist.

Footage posted by LibsofTikTok shows Michigan State Superintendent Sue Carnell being asked directly: "How many genders are there?"

LibsofTikTok notes: "She draws a complete blank then refuses to answer when asked this simple question. This is the person responsible for Michigan kids' education. Crazy as hell."

When pressed again with the same question, Carnell finally proffered a response that did not specifically answer the question, as she replied: "Different people have different beliefs on that."

Her questioner fired back: "Well you can believe all you want, but science says there's two."

The video comes as the Michigan State Board of Education last week approved a new sex-ed curriculum for K-12 "which includes radical gender ideology and teaches that kids can be born in the wrong body," according to LibsofTikTok.

The Detroit Free Press reports the sexual health topics by grade include:

  • In grades 3-5 the draft standards address puberty-related and personal hygiene issues.
  • In grades 6-8, the draft standards address gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, explaining that "they are distinct components of every individual's identity."
  • The standards also guide educators to explain that emotional, romantic and/or sexual attraction to individuals of the same or different genders can change over time.
  • Standards also recommend explaining the benefits of abstinence, decision-making that aligns with an individual's family values and strategies for reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STI).
  • In grades 9-12, the draft includes standards for students to analyze outside influences on a person's beliefs about sexual behavior and discussion over why it is illegal to coerce or trick someone into sexual activity, the importance of STI treatment and testing.
  • They also include discussion over fostering empathy and respect around issues related to sexuality and gender.Education officials stress parents still have the option to remove their children from the sex education without any penalty.

Some reaction online to Carnell's evasive response includes:

"If you can't even acknowledge such a basic reality as biology, why should you be entrusted to teach kids anything more complicated? This is the bedrock foundation of thought, and kids aren't even being taught it. No wonder students are struggling so much."

"I am reading a lot into her facial expression, and I am no expert, but she seems to be telegraphing that she knows the answer is two, but she also knows she cannot say that. This is how fear works."

"She can't answer because the question is biological, and her job is purely ideological. The left has installed activists, not educators, to run our schools. Her silence isn't confusion; it's the paralysis of a cult member whose dogma just crashed into reality. She is in charge of education but is a living testament to the failure of her own radical agenda. This is the goal: to destroy truth and replace it with this exact, incoherent, crazy-as-hell nonsense."
