Students Protest After Colo. Teacher Allegedly Talks 'Blacklist' of Boys Girls Shouldn't Date

Colo. Teacher Accused of Talking ‘Blacklist’ of Students

Students at a Colorado high school staged a walkout after a teacher at their school allegedly talked about creating a “blacklist” of students, according to reports.

In a video obtained by local station KJCT, Amelia Bornert, who teaches physical education at Fruita Monument High School in Fruita, Colorado, can allegedly be seen talking about making a list with the names of male students that girls should not date.

“They don’t deserve girls,” a woman can be heard saying in the video, in which Bornert appears to be filmed secretly as she talks to someone off-camera. “If we all boycott them, they won’t get any p—. We can give them some Vaseline as a parting gift.”

“There would be like a master administrator, no one would know who the administrator is because it’s a fake Google account,” Bornert also allegedly says in the video, appearing to discuss plans for a “blacklist.”

On Tuesday, students at the high school walked out of class to protest Bornert’s alleged comments, according to KJCT and KKCO.

Bornert has been placed on administrative leave until further notice, Mesa County Valley School District 51 spokeswoman Emily Shockley tells PEOPLE. There is a long-term substitute teacher in her classroom in the meantime, KJCT reported.

“We are and have been taking this matter seriously and an investigation is ongoing,” Shockley said.

According to the outlet, some students still support Bornert, while others think she is not receiving a harsh enough punishment.

“They are reacting to it in a very inappropriate way,” junior Max Belshe told KJCT. “I think they are mishandling the situation. If the genders were flipped, the male teacher or coach would be fired immediately. So that’s what we want. We want equal treatment of everyone.”

“It hurt a whole lot of people’s feelings,” one unidentified student told the outlet.

According to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, a list that resembles the one spoken about in the video has not been found.

“If someone has one, they should definitely let someone know,” Shockley told the outlet.
